I am in awe of the courageous and articulate 
women and men on this list, on the frontlines of 
helping families, who are expressing their 
concern over the current issues. I see the 
professional subjugation which is inherent in the 
new IBCLC SOP as a strange twist in the path 
toward modern society's re-establishment of the 
rights of infants and mothers to nurture each 
other, as evolution clearly intended.

After reading every single post regarding this 
issue, I'm still deeply confused by the 
motivation for IBLCE's actions... and their 
silence isn't helping any. Isn't every one of 
them on Lactnet? If not, why not?

I have a growing feeling of "Foxes guarding the 
henhouse", ie, that the de-facto, underlying 
mission of the Board is some fear-based CYA 
strategy, rather than the support and wellbeing 
of LC's (and ultimately, families). Either that, 
or profound incompetence. Yikes!
