Is Donald Trump a Sexist?

Hi all,

Your e-mail today about the Ten Commandments (search) debate came in at 85/15, with 85 percent saying that monuments featuring the Commandments should be allowed to remain on state property. Some of your e-mails are posted below.

First, though, here's what's in line for Thursday. In Berkeley, California, public school teachers are engaged in a heated battle with parents. They're demanding a cost-of-living pay raise after two years without one. And their method of protest is refusing to do any work outside of school hours — e.g., grading papers/tests, filling out progress reports, and meeting with parents.

School administrators sympathize with the teachers, but say the money for raises just isn't there. Others blame Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (search) for not budgeting more money for education. Where do you stand? Send your comments to me at: dayside@foxnews.com and I'll include some of them in the debate on Thursday's show.

We're just a few days away from Dan Rather's retirement at CBS News. One of his former colleagues, longtime correspondent Tom Fenton (search), has a few things to say about Dan and CBS, and he'll be in the studio with me Thursday. He's put his criticisms in the new book, "Bad News." What do you think about Dan's retirement and the fact that, in the past few days, some of his colleagues have dumped all over him?

And guess what? Another former contestant on "The Apprentice" has a gripe about the show. First it was Omarosa Manigault Stallworth (search), accusing producers of racist depictions of blacks; now Kristen, who was fired last week, is accusing Donald Trump of being sexist. She says he likes weak women, and she would not have been fired had she flirted with him. I missed last week's episode, so can any of you give me your take on Kristen's firing? Why do you think Trump picked her to get the boot? Do you think women are treated unfairly on the show?

Okay, now back to the Ten Commandments cases being argued today before the U.S. Supreme Court — here are some e-mails I got from you about whether displays of the Commandments should be allowed on state property:

...I have read the entire Constitution and nothing says anything about the separation of church [and] state. In fact the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court brings a Bible with him when he swears the President into office…
—Joseph Nocera, Waterbury, Connecticut

...I am a Christian but, how does a Jew or a Muslim or an atheist (or anyone else) feel when their government uses its premises for the seeming promotion of Christianity? I don't believe that the founding fathers wanted it anymore than I do...
—Patricia Lack, Phoenix, Arizona

See you all Thursday,

Linda
