DeVos Literally Can’t Name a Discriminatory Policy She’d Refuse to Fund

…that, if a state approved it for its voucher program, that you would step in and say, that’s not how we’re going to use our federal dollars,” Clark summarized after DeVos again refused to answer the congresswoman’s questions. After DeVos offered irrelevant platitudes about how parents and communities are “best equipped” to make decisions about school choice (wholly neglecting any discussion of federal funds), Clark concluded her allotted time wit…

Time’s Up For Politely Anti-LGBTQ Christianity: The Truth About “We Want to Be Known By What We’re For, Not What We’re Against”

…tude “we want to be known by what we are for, not by what we are against.” https://twitter.com/shaneclaiborne/status/963408143978987523 The first time I remember hearing Christians use that phrase, “we want to be known by what we are for, not by what we are against,” was in 2005. Back then, I was a 5-point Calvinist and loyal disciple of macho-hipster pastor, Mark Driscoll. That Sunday morning, he was addressing some low-level controversy that was…

DC Attorney General Goes ‘Religious Freedom’ Route to Investigate Catholic Church

…announced the establishment of an online portal (ReportClergyAbusetoDCOAG.com) to accept abuse complaints, and on Monday, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jessie Liu announced the establishment of a hotline and email address to collect reports of abuse by clerics of any faith.

Parkland Activists Don’t Care What You Think And They’re Not Interested in the Faith Wars

…ys found corrosive on both sides of the equation. Forced to choose between competing views of a faith, many people will simply walk away instead. (And to be fair, even white evangelicals—among the most conservative demographics in the nation—support stricter gun controls.) And again, the Parkland activists have made it pretty clear that they don’t see themselves as perfect, much less moral paragons, and certainly not exemplars in any religious sen…

To be sure, by referencing her own work Jain enacts a version of what Edward Said once famously critiqued as the “citationary” nature of Orientalism and its reliance on “antecedent authority” to maintain White supremacist hegemony.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

…e writes, “that there is no ‘Scientific Commission’…along with a ‘Biblical Commission’”? Such a commission could encourage the world to embrace three important eugenical ideas: “the optimum rather than the maximum in reproduction”; “a gradual separation of sexuality from reproduction”; and, in horrifying final words, “the absolute right…to try everything right to the end—even in the matter of human biology.” At this juncture, one must ask why no s…

SCOTUS’s Incoherent Masterpiece Cakeshop Decision

…and aspiring senator Richard Painter summed it up pretty well on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWPUSA/status/1003690740696993792 The court could and should have made a strong ruling against discrimination. Instead they kicked the can down the road, which is going to give every cultural revanchist an excuse to deny services based on “sincerely held religious beliefs.” I look forward to America adopting the Northern Irish model of social cohesion.
