In this, Satanists prove their point: Conservatives claim to respect religious plurality, but it's a lie. The overt religious iconography on government property was always about promoting the Christian nationalist view that theirs is the only "real" American religion. The story has more national resonance than during holidays past, however. This time it's happening in the shadow cast by a much darker, more dangerous bad faith debate over free speech: The fight over alleged anti-semitism on campus. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZ3VsY2YyMzM2ZC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWkmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo). ~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdWI4eXVmbGR6cy8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWlXA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvbDF3Mzl3MmFxeS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWlXA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvazRhaGkybHplZS8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWlXA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvaWh2NjBlcmZidC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWlXA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo Higher education must protect free speech to help protect democracy Recently there has been a spate of articles about whether[leaders](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0REaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvdjV0ZXR4ZDlmNi8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWlXA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo) in higher ed should speak out about atrocities or war crimes that, however distant, are having an impact on campuses. Some college presidents may be relieved to be told that they should stick to their core responsibilities (raising money) and avoid controversy. The abysmal performance of the presidents at a Congressional hearing will certainly encourage other leaders to keep their heads down. While commentators rail against high education’s efforts at inclusion and the cultivation of so-called woke ideologies, students are increasingly choosing to focus their studies in fields more quantitative than value-laden. Disengagement, not protest, is the norm. Even some humanists urge their colleagues to stick to disinterested scholarship and preserve the “contemplative mood.” [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvZ2UweHp0d2h3by8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWkmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).

MAGA women's Hallmark fantasy backfires From Amanda Marcotte: Hallmark is selling a fantasy to older, mostly Republican viewers: That their wayward daughters will give up on life in the big city and return home to live near their mothers. The sad irony in all this is that the Hallmark-loving grandmothers of America, by voting for Republicans, are working against their own dreams of having adult children — and grandchildren — who live next door. [Read more](~/AASU4wA~/RgRnWtBoP0RoaHR0cHM6Ly9saW5rLndoZXJlYnkudXMvM3VjZzZmbGRmeC8_bGhfYWlkPTM1NDM5NTImbGhfY2lkPTY0b2Q2bDM4cWkmbGhfZW09dHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODUlNDBnbWFpbC5jb21XA3NwY0IKZXNqS3hliLRFFFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luODVAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAo).
