The Economy is Racism: Ending Race-Based Economic Violence is the Real Challenge of This Moment

By Peter Laarman

…lightly less miserable while the real wealth flows upward. Everyone knows that chattel slavery was ended, officially, with the enactment of the 13th Amendment. And thanks to Ava DuVernay’s 13th, a few people now understand that involuntary servitude persisted by means of convict leasing and mass incarceration. But almost no one seems to know that the footprint of race-based capitalism went far deeper and wider in creating the economic regime we al…

Praying for a Victory: Packed Supreme Court Takes Up Yet Another Christian Nationalist Cause

By Andrew L. Seidel

…judge on the Ninth Circuit called out the Institute’s dishonesty, writing that its claim that the coach “was disciplined for holding silent, private prayers” was “a deceitful narrative … spun by counsel.” As a lawyer that values professional responsibility, I’d be devastated to read that in a judicial opinion about my work and possibly take it as a signal of incoming ethics charges, but the Institute took it as a sign to repeat the “deceitful narr…

Supreme Court: Law School Christian Group Can’t Exclude Gays

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…eech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom of express “the thought that we hate.” Today’s decision rests on a very different principle: no freedom of expression that offends prevailing standards of political correctness in our country’s institutions of higher learning. I mean, really, the First Amendment ought to give groups the right to name who they will hate and reject, right? Leave it to Justice Alito to protect the rights of bullies. I…

Is Cardinal Dolan’s Pro-Life Piece More Evidence of Pro-Catholic Bias from RNS Publisher?

By Evan Derkacz

…lics are free to argue goals and strategies, and a religion publication is free to host parts of that conversation. This is about context and consistency. It’s about the fact that Dolan’s piece is, in more than one way, suggestive of the very favoritism that Jones and Russell-Kraft document. First off, there’s history here between Rev. Reese and the Catholic hierarchy. Reese was once the editor of America, the highly regarded Jesuit magazine, unti…

Pricking the Conscience of Churches: From AIDS Activism to Ending World Hunger

By Susan Henking

…eve it is possible to conquer hunger and end AIDS in our lifetime. An AIDS-free and hunger-free world are my mantra. What it will take is political will and compassion without borders. This is not simply a romantic vision, but one embraced by scientists, economists, politicians and other persons of goodwill around the world. These goals are not simply within our reach, but also our grasp. Achieving this future is not inevitable, but neither is it…

Pussy Riot Members Sentenced to 2 Years for Offending Russian Orthodox Church

By The Editors

…d in my life are justice, mutual respect, humanity, equality and freedom. That’s what the expert said, someone who doesn’t know me and Investigator Ranchenko would probably have very much liked him to write something different. It would appear, however, that there are more people who live and value the truth, and the Bible’s right about that. Finally, I’d like to quote a Pussy Riot song because, strange as it may seem, all our songs have turned ou…

Circuit Court Rejects Priests for Life Contraception Challenge

By Patricia Miller

…e not violated under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and it is still free to hate on birth control: All Plaintiffs must do to opt out is express what they believe and seek what they want via a letter or two-page form. That bit of paperwork is more straightforward and minimal than many that are staples of nonprofit organizations’ compliance with law in the modern administrative state. Religious nonprofits that opt out are excused from playing…

God is Love: A Desert Prophet’s Message

By Lauri Lebo

…nd he makes no judgments on anyone, but he doesn’t really want to talk about that. Rather, he just wants to talk about love. My favorite part of the video is when he tells me that his message is catching on – and that even some of the churches admit we should be talking about love instead of fighting….

United Nations Affirms the Human Right to Blaspheme

By Austin Dacey

…le standard of being motivated by religious hostility, as under the UK’s Crime and Disorder Act of 1998. Convictions against writer and activists such as Paul Giniewski in France, Lars Hedegaard in Denmark, and Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria demonstrate that hate speech laws are ripe for abuse even in liberal democracies. Civil society activists now have the final legal authority of the United Nations on their side as they press governments…

The Kids Are All Wrong: Texas Tosses The Enlightenment

By Burke Gerstenschlager

…humans for both ourselves and each other. As Americans, we like to think that what our children learn in school is outside of politics, and that our kids can learn facts and figures and how to play well with one another so they can grow up and get jobs and follow their dreams. But public education, by nature of the word “public,” is political. States use public schools to educate their future citizens for their own purposes. Through those public…
