What do we call the movement that seeks to limit the rights of women, mandate prayer in school, outlaw the teaching and practices of other religions, deny people the right to unionize, allow for the killing of those who violate their religious dogma, limit the right to vote, oppress people based on their sexual orientation, and willfully deny science in the name of blind faith?
The Taliban?
The Muslim Brotherhood?
No, sorry – I’m talking about the Christian Right led Tea/Republican Party.
Before we try to play world police and wag our finger at the cultures of foreign countries, we should really look at the social agendas of our own elected leaders.
