By David Zvi Kalman

…ments, especially when they involve our most cherished heroes. While these policies may sound heretical to American ears, many religious traditions—including Judaism, Islam, and some forms of Christianity—take them quite seriously. Nobody considers these faiths to be forgetful; in fact, quite the opposite. In the present moment, it’s worth understanding how anyone could be so opposed to this passion of ours.

Israel Under Bush: The Islamophobia Years

By Joel Schalit

…with Khalidi’s work, there was no doubt that he was a critic of America’s policies in the Middle East, especially its support of Israel. But to extrapolate that Khalidi was somehow a subversive, on par with radical Islamists, was even more ludicrous than using Barack Obama’s middle name, Hussein, to discredit his candidacy. A progressive intellectual well-liked by many of his Jewish colleagues, Khalidi is not only an independent thinker, but also…

…itate real-time organizing, has allowed those being targeted by regressive policies to respond directly to those attacks, refusing to let demonizing rhetoric go unchallenged. “What is different in the recent past is queer visibility, and [the community’s] ability to counter right-wing demonization,” Frank concluded. “I think that remains hugely important to answer these narratives. And I think different communities are going to do that in differen…

Fall to Your Knees for Bigotry

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…mbay. She got lost and arrived late for the meetings. On the steps of the convention facility she found a man dying of hunger. Instead of going to the conference, she took the man and fed him. Inside they continued to talk about the statistics of the dying and formulating their policies – while a man died on their front steps. If we’re serious about making our world a better place, we’ll get up off our knees – not just on July 5, but every single…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…ucation Betsy DeVos refused to identify a single example of discriminatory policies that would make a private school ineligible for federal funding. The conversation, captured by CSPAN and embedded below, is astounding in how clearly it exposes the scope of “faith-based” discriminatory actions that DeVos is willing to permit. Rep.

After All the Handwringing We’re Now Seeing Exactly Why Conservative Christians Supported Trump

By Hollis Phelps and L. Benjamin Rolsky

…, Buttigieg walked back his charge, claiming that his problem is with “bad policies,” not with Pence’s faith. The proverbial right knows that such appeals to sentiment rarely work, at least in terms of mobilizing voters. Until religious liberals determine a pragmatic translation for their prophetic visions of the public good, conservatives will continue targeting legislation and democratic forms of governance in order to wield their respective for…

By Ed Simon

…ot racked by economic disparity, mismanagement, and the craven neo-liberal policies of university administrators, Dr. Baker’s scholarship would have easily earned her a tenure track position. As it is, the current untenable system of higher education has forced thousands of promising writers like Baker into freelance public scholarship, which as precarious as it is has also ironically brought important scholarship into the public eye.
