Bari, I look forward to your newsletter every week. Mission accomplished on having the best opinion page around, in my opinion. My brother in law sent me this twitter feed by a woman who, along with her husband, started a non-profit addressing justice issues with vulnerable people in her city. It was later overrun by woke staff who tried to sabotage the mission with nebulous claims of harm caused to the staff by the white founders of the mission. She seems like she would make for an excellent interview. Blessings on you and your writing.
This is part of why I think this CRT/wokeist junk is basically a right-wing infiltration. Funny how these supposedly anti-racist committed progressives managed to hamstring an organization doing actual, measurable good for oppressed people, innit?
"When a staff member said I couldn’t speak to a topic bc I’m straight, I told her it was wrong of her to assume about my sexuality just bc I’m married to a man. She immediately groveled."
I would like to bake this woman a pie. :-) Brilliant.
Or at least there is a disconnect between the verbal/social media commitments of progressives and what happens on the ground in real life. Whatever it is that the activist set suggests that they are for or against, all that matters is that people are able to thrive in their communities. On the subject of, for instance, defunding the police, does that help or hurt the people you pretend to care for? I like what Bill Maher said recently about defunding the police..."that's not a policy, that's a leg tattoo." Much of this stuff is performative theatrics.

So if the locals want to try something new with policing, they should try it.
Unless they walk in your church and ask for your help you surely have a community of your own to worry about.
A dude with “concerned pastor” opining about performative theatrics... hahaha
I am not sure if that’s irony, satire or sarcasm... but it’s funny.
