BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

By Joanna Brooks

…YU and witnessed both the differential status accorded to BYU athletes as well as the potential for honor code enforcement abuse.

By Andrew Aghapour

…at have very little cost. We must also reckon with how segregated housing helped to create an economic gulf between white and black communities. Consider suburban subdivisions that were built in St. Louis or elsewhere in the country, for example, Levittown outside New York City. They were built, as I mentioned, in the 1940s and 1950s with federal government guaranteed loans and the stipulation that no homes be sold to African Americans. At the tim…

By Andrew Aghapour

…stice. The institution probably just prefers to funnel it through one channel, namely customer service, because then they can have stricter rules, what is given, how much is given, under what circumstances, and so on. There are larger social problems than missed flights, like racist policing or the legacy of segregated housing.

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

By Joanna Brooks

…“root out problem students,” recall historians Bryan Waterman and Brian Kagel. In 1967, he removed the Honor Code from student control and enforcement, implemented stringent dress and grooming standards, and enlisted local bishops to act as agents for the university administration, creating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect…

The Biblical Money Code!

By Gordon Haber

…. Hyman’s proof text for due diligence is Proverbs 14:15: “The naïve will believe everything, but a wise man looks well into a matter.” Sure, okay, why not? But his other Scriptural reference is confused. Hyman reminds us that money itself is not evil—it is simply “a medium of exchange.” The “love of money” is the problem, as Paul points out in 1 Timothy 6:10. We can’t make rational decisions about money when we love it; we can only apply the “thr…

Gambling with God: Ryan Bell’s Atheist Bet

By Linn Marie Tonstad

…to act as if he did not believe. Yet his understanding of the relationship between belief and practice suggests something about how we have come to think of religion in the marketplace approach of contemporary spirituality. Bell treats atheism as a religious practice in which one attends services and reads devotional literature, the “sacred texts” of atheism, as he calls them. The conclusion he hopes for is just what Pascal thought was impossible,…

…rist as their personal lord and savior) was headed by a man who called himself “El Mas Loco,” or the Craziest One, Nazario Moreno Gonzalez. Gonzalez penned his interpretations of the Bible in what he called “Pensamientos,” or “Thoughts.” In this theological effort, he was hugely influenced by the work of Colorado Springs-based Christian author John Eldredge, a former board member for James Dobson’s Focus on the Family and founder of a men’s minist…

2023 in Review: Year One Without Roe, GOP Code Red, SCOTUS Gone Wild… and a Ray of Hope

By Annika Brockschmidt

…y single time. Fascism is not an inevitability. Democracies can survive an authoritarian threat—but only if the majority shows up—at the polls, at protests, in discussions with friends, family, co-workers. The right-wing assault on democracy is meant to make us feel helpless, defeated, cynical. Keeping a democracy alive can at times be tedious, hopeless or insignificant. It’s not. So this is my hope, my appeal for all of us in the next year: Let’s…

How the Catholic Church Changed the Movies

By Patricia Miller

…llywood Censored. The code they designed became the Motion Picture Conduct Code, popularly know as the Hays Code after it was adopted by William Hays, a Presbyterian elder who was hired by the major studios to help clean up the industry’s image after it was rocked by a series of scandals. The code, says Black, “was a fascinating combination of Catholic theology, conservative politics and pop psychology—an amalgam that would control the content of…
