Maddow Blog: ‘Susan B. Anthony would be appalled’

Lisa Boehle sends this picture of a sign planted outside Susan B. Anthony's childhood home in Battenville, New York. She notes, "This is the house where Susan lived when she was told by her schoolmaster that 'No, you won't be learning long division as you are a girl and would never need that knowledge.' "

The rogue sign reads, "Susan B. Anthony would be appalled by the chauvinistic antics of the G.O.P."
