The Real Bob Knight Quote Challenge Email Print

It's only the third day of the new year, and already the nuts are coming out of the woodwork. Take Bob Knight, head of the Concerned Women for America's Culture & Family Institute. He seems to have a problem with the Barbie web site. Why? Well . . .

A poll on the Barbie Doll's website asks children to select their gender, and there are not two, but three choices. ''I don't know'' is the third option, and Christian ministries point out the homosexual agenda behind this latest move made by Mattel, the toy company that owns Girl Dolls, Fisher-Price, and Hot Wheels.

That pretty much says it all. (Incidentally, the website no longer displays "I don't know", instead showing "I don't want to say") Now, I could argue that there are reasons for that option to be available that don't involve a sinister plot to unravel the delicate psychosexual complex of 4-8 year olds, but what's the point? It's Bob Knight. He holds a top position at an organization called the Concerned Women for America and fails to understand how that makes it ironic when he talks about gender confusion. So I'd like to posit a challenge. In the extended entry are seven quotes. Some of them are from Bob, while some are made up or from other sources. See if you can guess, then check below for the solutions.

Wait... There's more! (547 words in story)
