…ay learn about health-care reform might sound like watching an hour of Fox News. Kids might be instructed to learn to compare and contrast the landmark legislation to the Black Plague, the 9/11 attacks, the attack on Pearl Harbor, Bloody Sunday, or even the Jonestown massacre, as commentator Pat Caddell told Sean Hannity.

New Zealand Passes Marriage Equality

…ity should take notes from New Zealand’s MP Maurice Williamson. Before the New Zealand Parliament voted Tuesday 77-44 to approve marriage equality—the 14th country to do so—Williamson took to the podium to deliver a wry, yet compassionate, response to the religious people he’s met who opposed the measure.
