…The Floyd County School District in Floyd, Va. has been embroiled in a back-and-forth battle over the religious displays in all its schools of the Ten Commandments. In the latest controversy over the issue, 200 students walked out in protest Monday over the school board’s latest decision to ban them. The whole brouhaha started in December when the school board voted to remove the displays after the Freedom from Religion Foundation sent the distric…

This Radical Religious Freedom Dissent Reveals Kavanaugh’s Views on Sex and Power

By Patricia Miller

…s,” or, as one Florida Republican woman put it, “[W]e’re talking about a 17-year-old boy in high school with testosterone running high. Tell me, what boy hasn’t done this in high school?” Both the sweeping religious liberty claims made by conservative forces like Priests for Life and the assertions made by Kavanaugh’s defenders come from exactly the same place: a desire to reassert traditional, patriarchal sexual mores. Under these rules, men can’…

By Sean O'Neil

…ound Rock, Texas, was reportedly paralyzed from the waist down in a “helmet-to-helmet collision.” Two days later on Friday, September 4, football led to tragedy in Louisiana, where Tyrell Cameron, also sixteen, of Franklin Parish High School, died after breaking his neck on a punt return. The day after that, a linebacker for Georgetown University named Ty Williams broke five vertebrae in his neck on a tackle that initially left him with partial mo…

Does Conservative Watchdog Actually “Get Religion”?

By Joanna Brooks

…exuality in Mormonism, because only orthodox institutional statements from high-ranking Church leaders count as evidence. But as someone who’s been writing about Mormonism and homosexuality for 20 years, since I was an undergraduate at Brigham Young University, I stand by my observation that Mormon views on homosexuality are changing. You may or may not hear that evolution if you only listen to the speech of high-ranking LDS Church officials. Thir…

Of Birds and Buddhists: Wildlife Rehab, NYC Style

By Jay Wexler

…ing room. With its magnificent ruby breast, brilliant gold crown, and three-foot-long tail, the bird looked more like something out of the Tale of Genji than a resident New Yorker. The bird’s name, Darcy noted, is Donald. The Buddhists started arriving at a quarter after two, and by three o’clock about forty had shown up, including a dozen monks in mustard-colored robes, most bearing cell phones. Their leader was the tall and soft-spoken Venerable…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…erks around New York State are gearing up for a busy Sunday as the state’s new marriage equality law goes into effect. The state is expecting such a flood of same-sex applicants that day that New York City has even implemented a lottery for 764 slots for Sunday. Two clerks who won’t be busy will be Rosemary Centi of Guilderland and Laura Fotusky of Barker. Both women have quit their jobs, saying granting marriage licenses to same-sex couples viola…

New Hampshire Cuts Off Funding for Contraceptives for Low-Income Women

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ined to renew Planned Parenthood’s contract to provide contraception to low-income women. Executive Councilor Raymond Wieczorek—who, barring some as-yet-unrealized medical advance, will never be pregnant—had this to say: “I am opposed to providing condoms to someone. If you want to have a party, have a party, but don’t ask me to pay for it.” You guys, this would make complete sense, but for two things: 1) Women don’t actually always consent to hav…

Conservative ‘Cafeteria Catholics’ Favor Opposition to Gay Marriage Over Health Care

By Paul Gorrell

…ight-wing political ideologues. The call to serve the sick is found in the New Testament teaching of Jesus. The Gospel is clear on the topic of health care when it states*, “distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” The principle of the Common Good means that merit is not a factor in health care. Followers of Jesus are called to defend the needy, not ignore them. Meanwhile, the New Jersey Bishops can pretend that marriage has…

I’d Rather Go Back to Yemen than Face NYPD

By Hussein Rashid

…ltiple times. But they’re perhaps most notorious for their discredited stop-and-frisk policy that harasses people of color, with a negligible preventive return. The coalition behind the report has partnered with other other groups to demand legislative redress to these gross violations. We need an Inspector General at the state level; as I’ve written about before, I think Ray Kelly is too powerful within the city for us to have truly independent…

Islamophobia is Real, Mr. Mayor—A New York City Muslim Explains

By Hussein Rashid

…er a reflection of what a New York Muslim sees and hears as Islamophobia becomes so normalized that it becomes an institution. Let’s begin with the double-standard tango. We hear about about an Alabama teen who is reported to have a near-operational plot to attack his school. He is allowed to go back home. A couple in New York, where one partner is a serial offender, is found with explosives in their apartment, ready to blow things up. In both cas…
