The Titanic is actually a great analogy since the merger will definitely sink and destroy many lives, but the rich people will get away on the lifeboats.

Maybe the real story here is that young people in the U.K. are the only demographic not old enough to know just how awful Franklin Graham has been for decades. They’re searching for truth. Finding out who Franklin Graham actually is would be a good place to start.

If starting a private school is so easy that reporters can do it as an experiment, maybe taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to bankroll private religious schools with virtually no meaningful accountability. Public money should come with public accountability.

Saffire handled this exactly right: stand by your employees, make your values clear, and refuse to be intimidated into silence. Religious freedom protects your right to believe what you want. It doesn’t guarantee that everyone else has to applaud you for it.
