Among others, that list includes the protesters who disrupted Silicon Valley’s elite conferences; the women who initiated the #BlackLivesMatter movement; the organizers who have pressed for union rights among Uber drivers; and the journalists who have steadfastly covered organizations from WikiLeaks to WeCopwatch.

By Daniel Schultz

…ator has noted, Souter’s address was a brilliant deconstruction of “originalist” readings of the Constitution that deserves to be read again and again in law schools around the nation. But I can’t quite agree with Prothero’s conclusion: If Souter was speaking the truth at Harvard (and I think he was), we should take religion into account in selecting our most powerful justices, because no matter how fairly they read the Constitution and how object…

…J. King (an investigative journalist), and I approached this project journalistically with open minds, asking questions and listening. Our hope was to find people who were using 3D immersive spaces in innovative, authentic and creative ways that would give insight into how intercultural dialogue helps understanding between Muslims and non-Muslims.

His work has shaped a generation of Christian-schooled and Christian-homeschooled kids and now that he’s a “professor” in Beck’s “university,” he is poised to similarly shape the tea partiers. Barton’s presentations make on-the-spot critical engagement difficult. He jumps, at l…
