Scientology founder's view of women

L. Ron Hubbard's take on women has been edited out of the reprint of Scientology: A New Slant on Life. No doubt Nevada GOP Senate nominee Sharron Angle knew nothing about it when she pushed a Scientology-endorsed prison rehabilitation program.

From the Village Voice, we see that Hubbard wrote:

A society in which women are taught anything but the management of a family, the care of men, and the creation of the future generation is a society which is on its way out.

That's certainly a step back past the Baptist Faith & Message 2000, for example. Although there is ongoing debate, underlined by apparent shifts in position, about full implications of even that.
