BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

…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…

Where’s Wallnau? A NAR Apostle Takes Aim at Swing Counties in ‘The Battle for the Mountain of Government’

…elicals reportedly voted for Trump in 2016, the percentage dropped to 76 percent in 2020, though experts contend that White evangelical support for Trump is “remarkably stable and consistently strong.” AFPI believes that if they can get back to 81, or even part way, that could make the difference in 2024. But wherever Wallnau, AFPI, and their partners go this election season, and whatever the outcomes of elections at all levels in 2024, the strugg…

U.S. Religious Right Groups Support Move Toward ‘Illiberalism’ of Hungary and Poland; and More in Global LGBT Recap

…, and could face a life sentence in an Egyptian prison if found guilty of “promoting sexual deviancy” and other charges tied to her alleged crime: waving a rainbow flag at a concert. The 28-year-old denies waving the flag but is one of 57 people arrested so far in Egypt’s widest anti-gay crackdown yet, a swift zero-tolerance response to a rare show of public support for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the conservative Musli…

Media Fail to Acknowledge That 2024 Hopeful Ron DeSantis is as Catholic as Biden

…tment on the basis of bigoted religious beliefs I find frankly deplorable. Today in Florida, Ron DeSantis is successfully imposing Catholic strictures on both reproductive healthcare and transgender healthcare on every medical institution and medical practitioner throughout the state, regardless of their own beliefs and whether they run directly counter to well-established medical best practices. Not to put too fine a point on it, this is exactly…

The Right is Using the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago Search to Martyr Trump and Maintain the Violent Myth of the Big Lie

…ou have basically guaranteed him the nomination for the Republican Party in 2024, and you’re going to give him a big weapon to go after Joe Biden or, you know, whatever Democrat emerges in 2024 if they don’t convict him. While it’s wrongheaded to worry about riling up Trump’s base if there’s evidence he committed criminal offenses, I think Jennings is right to a degree. The stakes are high in this case—for Attorney General Merrick Garland, Preside…

‘Spooky Action’ of Quantum Physics Offers an Alternative Frame for War in the Middle East and the 2024 Election

…mitive as global institutions have broken down. We can see this fracturing today in the Republican Party of the United States, as its most extreme members dig in and chip away at coalitions and partnerships that once provided a foundation for governing. No such foundation remains. In Israel, over half of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish population lives in just four cities: Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, Ashdod and Elad. We’re well aware of the self-sorting in th…

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse. (When I was a BYU student, it was possible to make an anonymous third-party referral.) Honor Code enforcement on campus has been used to bait and target gays and libe…

Despite Reports, GOP Has Not ‘Turned on Trump’ For Call to Terminate the Constitution — Fascism isn’t a Dealbreaker for Today’s GOP

…her these remarks would prevent him from supporting the former president in 2024. Like Turner, minority whip John Thune, the second most powerful Republican in the Senate, said “of course I disagree with that,” regarding Trump’s comments. But he too refused to say whether he would support Trump in 2024 or not: “It’s just one of those intuitively obvious things, whether a candidate for office has sort of a bedrock principle, ‘are you going to suppo…

At Launch Rally in Waco, Former President Sets the Stakes for Trump ’24 Campaign with Apocalyptic, Violent, Genocidal Rhetoric

…ause it ramps the calls for violence up to the next level, announcing Trump 2024 as an eschatologically driven campaign that requires the destruction of opponents. Indeed, as one of the opening speakers, Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, said: “we got a big fight ahead of us… when I started in politics a few years back, it was the Republicans versus the Democrats, and then it changed into something totally different, it became conservativ…
