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…

White Nationalist Mottos, the Fate of Jews in the New Christian State, and ‘Appeal to Heaven’ Humor — Day 2 of NatCon 2024

…ionalist slogan embraced by neo-Nazis since 2017. “I talked to Trump twice today!” For the evening session, Marco Rubio had been announced to give a keynote—but, as many attendees had already noticed, Rubio changed his dinner plans and skipped NatCon to attend the evening’s Trump rally in Miami in the hope that he’ll be tapped to be VP. Instead, Vivek Ramaswamy waxed on about the values of “national libertarianism.” Ramaswamy, maybe to show that h…

…nservative movement’ DeMuth summarized the aims of national conservatism in 2024 as the promotion of “patriotic schooling,” an “end to civil violence and antisemitism,” and a “revival of faith, family and fertility,” while deriding “[anti-populist] elites in Brussels and Washington” along with “our atomised, feminized, self-obsessed culture where autonomy is the holy grail.” The throughline of the opening remarks of both DeMuth and his fellow NatC…

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…

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…

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…
