  5. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    It is, I am afraid, true that frequently various religious groups endeavor to exert pressures and control over different legislative and educational fields. It is the job of all of us to be alert for such infringement of our prerogatives and prevent any such attempts from being successful. Like all our freedoms, this freedom from religious-group pressure must be constantly defended.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) American politician, diplomat, activist; First Lady of the US (1933–45)
    Memoir (1961), The Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt, Part 4, ch. 43 “Unfinished Business”

  9. Persecution of the Latter-day Saints

    In the 1830s and 1840s, Latter-day Saints faced severe hostility in Missouri and Illinois amid religious, economic, and political conflict. Missouri’s governor ordered them treated as enemies and “exterminated or driven from the state”; thousands fled to Illinois. Tensions later engulfed Nauvoo. In 1844 an armed mob stormed Carthage Jail and killed Joseph and Hyrum Smith. Violence continued, helping drive the Saints’ mass departure west. #religiousfreedom

  10. The three women of different (or no) faiths all want the same thing. A recently filed attempt to remove #Christian teachings from #PublicSchools used #StateLaw - not federal - and is awaiting #appeal.
    (Christians know they're breaking the law. But they're convinced that we're possessed by #demons, so they don't care. Hard to argue with these people.)

  11. 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.

    Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
    Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

  13. Covert Indian operation seeks to discredit Modi’s critics in the U.S.

    The Disinfo Lab’s activities show how the online propaganda campaigns waged by the BJP and its allies have been expanding beyond their traditional, domestic aims of shoring up popular support and denigrating opposition parties — and now seek to influence attitudes far beyond India’s borders.
