…ch, for his opposition to abortion rights and a vote, while serving in the Georgia state legislature, to keep the Confederate flag on the state insignia. Now BuzzFeed’s Evan McMorris-Santoro has unearthed video of Boggs from 2004, while he was still serving as a legislator, urging the body to adopt additional measures against same-sex marriage, as a bulwark against “activist judges” who might overturn the state’s existing ban. According to a trans…

White Rockers in Search of Soul Salvation

By Paul Harvey

…preach and vouched for him; after his master’s death Andrew Bryan won his freedom. Andrew Bryan eventually became a slaveholder himself, one of the very small class of free black slaveholders in the nineteenth-century South. After his death, Bryan’s nephew, Andrew Marshall, took the pulpit at First African Baptist, and became one of the best known (and most controversial) black ministers of the antebellum era, leading to a major schism of the chu…

RDBook: A City Too Busy To Hate

By Michael A. Elliott

…ist stand that launched his political career. The Pickrick is now owned by Georgia Tech, and there is some question about whether the building might be demolished soon. What do think of that? Should we have reverence toward sites like the Pickrick? Lefever: I’m not sure the building has to be physically saved, but it shouldn’t just be wiped out and forgotten all together. I am not advocating reverence for Lester Maddox. But we should certainly hav…

By Heron Greenesmith and Asia Korkmaz

…ender kids will go to heaven. As he told the crowd at a September rally in Georgia: “I want the young kids to know, you go to heaven. Jesus may not recognize you. Because he made you a boy. He made you a girl. Why are we talking about things like that?” Walker’s anti-trans rhetoric would have been right at home at last month’s Pray Vote Stand Summit, the most influential Christian-Right political conference in the United States, held annually by t…

Expelled: Christian Student Claims Discrimination, But Judge Says No

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…school policy and the American Counseling Association code of ethics. That code, by the way, is clear about what is expected from counselors: Counselors do not condone or engage in discrimination based on age, culture, disability, ethnicity, race, religion/spirituality, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status/partnership, language preference, socioeconomic status, or any basis proscribed by law. Counselors do not discriminate a…

What Irish Marriage Vote Means for Catholic Church; The Lonely Fight for Equality in Belize; Progress and Backlash in Tunisia; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…nial past and our colonial governance by the Roman Catholic Church. We are free at last to live and love as we were born to be. For freedom –– not happiness –– is the precious stone. One cannot cling to happiness; it submits to no clinging. To be free, to live and love in your homeland, this is the most precious stone against which all others fade by comparison. We now know that, whatever organised religion may say, our way of loving is right. No…

The Quietly Crumbling Wall of Separation

By Robert Marus

…th’s damage may actually leave some plaintiffs better able to defend their free-exercise rights than before. And other rulings on both free-exercise and non-establishment cases—such as in employment cases involving churches and cases involving government-sanctioned prayer—have maintained a distinctiveness for religion as a constitutional category. But other learned First Amendment scholars—such as Marci Hamilton of Yeshiva University’s Cardozo Law…

To Serve God and Wal-Mart: The Making of Christian Free Enterprise

By Diane Winston

…religious tenets and economic policies, both of which supported Christian free enterprise, traditional values and a gendered workforce. Writes Moreton: “They [Walton Scholars] perceived their own careers and free-market policies generally as a form of public service, on the pattern of the Christian business departments they attended. For its part, Wal-Mart and its suppliers reaped tangible rewards from this network of skilled graduates. In 2005,…

Pamela Geller in Brooklyn: Free Speech, Hate Speech, and the Futility of Arguing with a Bigot

By Haroon Moghul

…ing that earns her money. Because it’s the only talent she has. This isn’t free speech, it’s free-market. And to what end? If you link anti-Semitism to Islamophobia, or vice versa, you make it more likely each community will deny the other’s pain. Young Muslims who are expected to accept that anti-Semitism is real, at the cost of denying discrimination against them, are unlikely to. This is not only the biggest Jewish city in the world, but the bi…

Capricology Week 5: Fathers, Funerals, and the Ethics of Gaming

By Henry Jenkins

…he is the only one with free will (though this may still be an illusion of free will, as the code for the game is likely to be quite deterministic). Since she is the only one in the game that suffers pain but no death, it will be interesting to see the evolution of her ethical code within the virtual world. The transformation of Tamara from a helpless lost soul to a gun-toting avenger sets up the stage for her probable showdown with Zoe—a continua…
