A quotation from Henry Commager
Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

A quotation from John F. Kennedy
Tolerance implies no lack of commitment to one’s beliefs. Rather it condemns the oppression or persecution of others.

BREAKING: Federal court greenlights destruction of #OakFlat
#ApacheStronghold vows to appeal decision to U.S. Supreme Court
By Apache Stronghold, Censored News, March 1, 2024
WASHINGTON – "A divided federal court (6-5) today refused to protect an ancient #NativeAmerican sacred site from destruction by a multinational #mining giant, putting the case on a fast track to the Supreme Court. In Apache Stronghold v. United States, a rare 'en banc' panel of eleven judges from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the federal government can transfer the #SacredSite Oak Flat to #ResolutionCopper, a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the site into a massive mining crater, ending Apache religious practices forever. (Watch the short video linked below to learn more).
"The decision was by a bare majority, with five judges vigorously disagreeing and writing that the majority 'tragically err[ed]' in allowing the government to 'obliterate[e] Oak Flat' and prevent the '#WesternApaches from ever again' engaging in their religious exercise. With the help of Becket, Apache Stronghold has vowed to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"Since time immemorial, Western Apaches and other native peoples have gathered at Oak Flat for sacred religious ceremonies that cannot take place anywhere else. Known in Apache as Chi’chil Biłdagoteel, Oak Flat is on the National Register of Historic Places and has been protected from mining and other harmful practices for decades. These protections were eliminated in 2014, when a last-minute provision was inserted into a must-pass #DefenseBill authorizing the transfer of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, a foreign-owned mining company that plans to turn the sacred site into a two- mile-wide and 1,100-foot-deep crater. The majority owner of Resolution Copper, Rio Tinto, recently sparked international outrage when it deliberately destroyed 46,000-year-old #indigenous rock shelters at one of #Australia’s most significant cultural sites.
"'Oak Flat is like #MountSinai to us—our most sacred site where we connect with our Creator, our faith, our families, and our land,” said Dr. Wendsler Nosie of Apache Stronghold. “Today’s ruling targets the spiritual lifeblood of my people, but it will not stop our struggle to save Oak Flat. We vow to appeal to the Supreme Court.'

Great to see a review of my book ‘Religion in Schools: Learning Lessons from Wales’ in the new issue of the Ecclesiastical Law Journal: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/ecclesiastical-law-journal/article/abs/religion-in-schools-learning-lessons-from-wales-russell-sandberg-anthem-press-london-2022-134-pp-paperback-1999-ibsn-9781839984259/2156A4AE649E600C1BF4D5A0AF7C6EDA
The review praises it as ‘the leading text on the law of religion in Welsh Schools’, ‘succinct and informative’ and ‘of interest to public lawyers more broadly’.
