  The Christian Nationalist Freak Show By David Starr In a fit of totalitarian intoxication, Christian nationalists have tried repeatedly to impose an agenda that is straight out of the Medieval period. It has been lacking in intelligence and full of mythological euphoria. Christian nationalists, or more directly put, religious fanatics, are hellbent on trying to portray the United States as a “Christian nation.”  A manifestation of this perversion was a rally held by Christian fanatics to commemorate the 250 anniversary of the founding of the United States. It was held at the National Mall in Washington D.C. It was called the “Rededicate 250” rally.

There are unfortunately many examples of genocide deniers and apologists for Israel. But they further discredit them...

The Rabid Right-wing Attack on Education in the United States By David Starr To be ‘woke’ is to be committing a ‘sin,’ as the right-wing in the United States have gone  on the attack against being woke  and in turn dissing the awareness and knowledge associated with it. Education is a prime target of the right-wing because it hates and fears students actually learning about such things as racism, religious fanaticism, etc. The right has become intoxicated with its warped agenda which fuels hate and fear. Putting it a little more directly, the Zinn Education Project (named after Howard Zinn, author of ‘A People’s History of the United States,’) published an informative piece called ‘Teaching in Perilous Times.’  It starts out this way : ‘Educators are teaching in perilous times. We face a white supremacist backlash – funded by billionaires – against the 2020 uprising for Black lives, when tens of millions built a multiracial movement against systemic racism.  ‘In resp...
