AntiGay Scientist Thinks Slaves Were "Better Off" in America
There is a detailed article on the flap in the winter issue of Intelligence Report, the magazine of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Excerpts from the article:
A prominent member of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) is under fire for publishing an essay in which he argues that Africans were fortunate to have been sold into slavery, and that the civil rights movement was "irrational."
Schoenewolf, a psychotherapist who lives in New York City, is the director of The Living Center, an online therapy center for people in the arts. He has authored 14 books, among them The Art of Hating, in which he writes that, "Many people talk about hate, but few know how to hate well." Read the whole article here. It's bad enough that Schoenewolf's despicable views were published (later withdrawn by NARTH). What is amazing is that NARTH has retained him on its science advisory board. The entire matter warrants much more attention from people concerned about the religious right. Here we have a signficant orgnization seeking scientific respectability -- and this is how they operate.
