By M. Cooper Minister

…affirming care to youth. These bills follow a precedent set by Arkansas in 2021, where legislators passed the first bill of its kind. Although vetoes and court injunctions have permanently blocked Arkansas’s ban and temporarily blocked similar measures in some states, these bans are now active in many states. And, while the legislation isn’t generally couched in religious language, these bans impose a gender binary in which religion and law colla…

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…have come to call the ‘Juneteenth conundrum’ is who is greeted by whom? In 2021, while at a summer solstice festival that happened to coincide with Juneteenth I recall with sheer amusement as two well-meaning, culturally sensitive White women approached tepidly to ask if they could wish me and my companions (all Black) a “Happy Juneteenth.” Our collective response, “sure,” and to their surprise I uttered with a straight face, “Thank you. You too….

…e the Claremont Institute and others to oppose DEI initiatives beginning in 2021. Whereas Stepman called for the dismantling of higher education altogether, to “salt the earth,” Yenor says “my motto on this is destroy and restore at the same time.” Calling on conservatives to take over small liberal arts colleges and turn them into “bastions of civilizational and cultural heritage,” he argues that “our kids are going to go to college [so] we have…

By Chrissy Stroop

…cs of Morality in America Anthea Butler U of North Carolina Press March 22, 2021 If asked to recommend only two recent books on conservative, mostly white evangelicals, I would recommend Kristin Kobes du Mez’s Jesus and John Wayne: How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation, for its unflinching look at evangelicals’ specific inflections of toxic masculinity over the last few decades, and Butler’s White Evangelical Racism: The…

If We Don’t Counter Far-Right Christianity, 1/6 Will Just Be the Beginning

By Serene Jones

…rt network for former president Trump. Nearly one year ago, on January 6th, 2021, this growing religious and political extremism manifested itself in an unthinkable way. Mobs of Trump backers carrying crosses, bibles, and signs with religious messages stormed the Capitol—ransacking the building, hunting down Congressmembers, and ultimately leaving multiple people dead. A man in a fur hat and horns—now infamously known as the QAnon Shaman or Q-Sham…

…the capitalist Right.” American Moment, a right-wing think tank founded in 2021 with the backing of J.D. Vance, is, according to Politico, “on a mission to recruit and train the next generation of Republican elites by beginning at the lowest levels of the Washington hierarchy—the legislative assistants, press aides and junior staffers who will serve as the foot soldiers in the GOP’s war on the federal bureaucracy.” Now, however, as executive dire…

UPDATED: The Coup That Never Ends: ‘Whitemanism’ and the Perils of a Flimsy Liberalism

By Peter Laarman

…ovement with respect to how race and class interact in multiple ways. 2. In 2021 “multiracial” can’t mean that people of color and Black people in particular are still expected to shut up about the centuries-long and highly particular injuries of race. Nor should “Multiracial” mean white people get to remain oblivious to the actual history. I cringe a little when white Lefties evoke the glorious days of the 1930s, complete with images of industria…

…participation in the violent insurrection he himself incited on January 6, 2021, calling them “persecuted Christians” and “hostages.” He calls his political opponents “very evil people.” Before Trump spoke, his campaign set the stage for his remarks by playing a version of “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung by a group he has dubbed “the J6 prison choir,” comprised of 20 men who have been arrested, convicted, and incarcerated because of their role in…
