…d assault than other people. This includes queer children. Queer children experience sexual abuse at a rate of 3.8 times the rate of other children. When Lila Rose and others scapegoat queer people as sexual abusers, they are scapegoating the very victims most in need of support and understanding. That scapegoating has real-life consequences. To understand these consequences better, I spoke to several survivors of child sexual abuse and asked them…

Christian Nationalism Hurts the Children It Claims to Protect — As Author Lillian Smith Understood 80 Years Ago

By Matthew Teutsch and Emma Williams

…of American history. Over the course of the essay, Smith recounts how Nazi Germany provided an external enemy that allowed White Christians in the United States, and especially in the Jim Crow South, to justify their own racist actions. After presenting Nazi atrocities and Hitler’s regimented dismantling of democracy, Smith asks her readers to look upon themselves, highlighting the stark contradictions at the center of Christian nationalism. She w…

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ion for democracy. Solidarity, compassion, and knowledge will be needed—in 2023 perhaps more than ever. The continued resolution for the new year for me and many of my colleagues is to keep up the work we do—to analyze, explain and contextualize. To give people the tools and knowledge to not only diagnose the threat facing our democracy but to treat it as well. So please stay vigilant and stay safe—and we’ll see you in the new year….

As Transition Looms, Jewish Studies is Mired in Controversy

By Shaul Magid

…inger on a problem that everyone knew was there, but few wanted to engage explicitly. Explaining what he saw as the failure of AJS in his 1983 Judaism in the American Humanities: Second Series, he wrote: “if AJS were to serve the academic sector, it could not also serve any other sector.” Neusner continues: The Association for Jewish Studies does not pursue learning. It is not an academic learned society. People gather not to seek stimulation and…

Vatican’s ‘Dumbed Down Version of an Old Argument’ on Gender Can’t Stop Changes in Catholicism

By Mary E. Hunt

…players without a score card. The real game changer is that claims that sex/gender are fixed, defined, and limited pale before the reality of changing, fluid, varied sex/gender as the human norm. Eeeeeks—what to do about male-only priests, mom and dad-only families, and laws that result from Catholic influence on private matters? That swishing sound is a Roman Catholic house of cards falling in on itself. Left standing are all queer Catholics and…

The Resurgence of Right-Wing Anti-Semitic Conspiracism Endangers All Justice Movements

By Ben Lorber

…to immigration reform. As is true for the alt-right as a whole, Earnest’s xenophobia reflects, in more extreme form, the rhetoric against immigrants, Muslims, and other groups that’s become a common feature of mainstream conservatism in the Trump era. In particular, Earnest seems in intimate agreement with the deepest concerns of today’s Republican Party over the pernicious effect of “cultural Marxism and communism,” for which he blames the Jews,…

Some Thoughts on Richard Dawkins’ Terrible Tweet

By Haroon Moghul

…ng of independent Burma, as it was then called. Their rights are denied in Xinjiang, properly East Turkestan, except they have no Dalai Lama-like figure to draw attention to their plight. (Who’s going to stand up to China anyway?) Across the border, in Central Asia, Muslims remained ruled by Communist holdovers propped up by a Russia desperate to save its “near abroad”. Having seen what happened to Chechnya, it’s not surprising there’s little move…

Arab Spring: Countering the Naysayers

By Maryam Jamshidi

…ence. In The Human Condition, which is arguably her greatest work, Arendt examines human existence and argues that involvement in politics, which is achieved through public speech and action, is among the highest achievements in life. I have a Master’s degree in political theory and have been a long time admirer of Arendt’s theories on people and politics. Her work, particularly in The Human Condition, was a major influence on my thinking about th…

Onward Christian Terrorists; Fighting Evil in the Obama Era

By Mark Juergensmeyer

…nsive rather than punitive acts. According to Bray, “there is a difference between taking a retired abortionist and executing him, and killing a practicing abortionist who is regularly killing babies.” The first act is in Bray’s view retributive, the second defensive. According to Bray, the attacks were aimed not so much at punishing clinics and abortionists for their actions as at preventing them from “killing babies,” as Bray put it. He was care…

American Evangelist Who Sparked Anti-Gay Panic Sued By Ugandan Gay Rights Group

By Sarah Posner

…s and debunked “history” of a Nazi-gay link, claiming “the masculine homosexual movement in Germany created the Brown Shirts, and the Brown Shirts in turn created the Nazi Party.” In a column earlier this year opposing the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, Fischer recycled that 2008 column, adding, “Even today in America, it is chic in some homosexual circles for individuals to wear replicas of Nazi Germany uniforms, complete with iron crosses, stor…
