  1. Harrison Butker's commencement speech on homemaking draws a rebuke from Benedictine sisters

    At Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, the NFL kicker Harrison Butker urged women graduates to embrace the "vocation" of homemaker. The Benedictine Sisters of Mount St. Scholastica, a founding sponsor of the college, objected to the claim that homemaking is the highest calling for a woman. Butker later said he stood behind his words.
