SMEAR CAMPAIGN [2]
        by Robin Yeamans, Esq.




        The following letter was sent to Susan Benett in response to her sending Dr. Jones a copy of the picketers' leaflet and/or articles about the picketing.

        Note: In Santa Clara County, which includes about 1.5 million people, the court has chosen only 12 Ph.D. psychologists who will be permitted to do psychological evaluations in family court, and the nut who wrote the letter below is one of the chosen 12.

        March 13, 1997

        Dearest Susan,

        You're such a lovely girl for sending me the articles on the Justi matter.  If I was a woman I'd want to have your baby.  For the life of me I can't understand what all this commotion over gender bias is about.  Hell yes I'm gender biased; I love women.  "I Dream of Jennie" [sic] is still one of my favorite television shows.  Is that a crime?

        However, this being the nineties, and me being a product of the sixties, perhaps I've been raised to be biased and not even know it.  That's the worst kind you know.  Please do me a favor, is you observe any subtle aspects of my behavior which are reflective of gender bias against women, let me know immediately.  Thank you.  You're such a dear.

        Michael B. Jones. Ph.D.
        Licensed Clinical Psychologist and defender of truth, justice (especially for Justi) and the American Way

        Update:  4/23/99 a bit of good news!  The presiding judge of Santa Clara County Courts has struck Jones from the list of 12 psychologists.  RETURN TO TEXT
