In his disinformation-filled rant, Trump referred to the “joyful warriors” in the audience as victims of “demented persecution,” spoke of the importan…

BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

By Joanna Brooks

…de, we sounded a note of caution here at RD about the “dark side” of honor code enforcement. After all, the honor code had been created during the 1960s in an effort by ultra-conservative BYU President Ernest Wilkinson to root out liberals, and honor code enforcement (including anonymous referrals) had been used to bait and harrass feminist, liberal, and gay students, shut down campus free speech, and compromise the privacy of pastoral counseling…

Interestingly, some Brazilian churches are being similarly defiant of quarantine measures, with Brazilian pastors repeating arguments used elsewhere to the effect that God supposedly won’t allow the faithful to become sick in church.
