Related: About this forum28-year-old Sanders wrote article saying "old bitch" teachers cause boys to grow up and have cancer
Please note: the offensive language in the headline was used by Bernie Sanders, quoted in a tweet about the article.
I've paraphrased the tweet above, and also corrected what she tweeted about Sanders' age. He was 28 then, not 34.
Tweet from RiotWomenn, with screenshots and a link to the article Sanders wroe for the Vermont Freeman:

Windmills cause cancer according to Trump
34 year old Sanders wrote a newspaper article saying "old bitch" teachers cause boys to grow up & have cancer
"Old bitch" in an article like this? Weird misogyny

He has a toxic pathology about women.
We don't cause cancer anymore than windmills do
Ask Trump & Bernie ... 2 guys with "great judgement"

That quote is from the second page of Sanders' two-page article.
I got eyestrain trying to find it on the first page, which was on page 6 of that issue of the Vermont Freeman.
It's from page 7 of that issue.
The third image at this link (the first two are both of the first page of the article):
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2157403-sanders-cancer.html
The quote is in the last complete paragraph in column 1.
This was published in December 1969.

(8,654 posts)She loved to humiliate students in front of the whole class until they cried. We had a girl in our class who stuttered really bad and she would make this girl get in front of the whole class to give a report that the girl was not capable of doing and we would witness this girl sobbing week after week. We knew this teacher was evil. but we did not have much power in those days. This stuff would not be permitted now but it was back then. Our heads had to be straight ahead and if we turned them a quarter of an inch, she screamed at us.
Teachers in some southern states are still allowed to hit kids.

(68,454 posts)He has told this story for years, and I believe it is true...the ambassador everyone is breathlessly using as their 'proof' is a Republican. Honestly, this is just disgusting and I believe will kill any chance with suburban women. Sanders is already on the ropes with women. We need a different nominee.

Sanders was only a year younger then than Biden was in his first Senate run, at which time he already had years of law practice and local government experience behind him.

(68,454 posts)lose badly...and may cost us the house. This would leave us completely helpless against a triumphant trump who already has the Senate, the judiciary and now the house...as well as justice. It is unthinkable which is why I continue to resist Sanders' nomination and believe that in the end he will not be the nominee. Sanity will hopefully prevail.
