Women Radicals

Women are radical, but in the latter half of the nineteenth century the very idea that college like Smith and Wellsley were instructing women to think critically of the bible, incited Thomas M. C. Birmingham of Milford, Nebraska. He was a conservative,evangelical minister who at one point even wrote a pamphlet that if followed promised the government a more cohesive structure through biblical teachings.  He found that women who questioned the literal teachings of the bible were going to become immoral citizens, and thus the higher education units were not doing their jobs.

Birmingham, wanted scripture in schools and colleges. It sounds alot like issues that are still going on today. He wanted to bring theology to the masses.
