Their refusal to hire more female directors is immoral, maybe illegal, and has helped create and sustain a representational ghetto for women.

America's Christian conservative movement is confronted with this divide: small-government advocates who want to practice their faith independent of heavy-handed government versus big-government sympathizers who want to impose their version of 'righteousness' on others through the hammer of law....
