LINKLetters From An American 02/01/2023

Heather Cox Richardson On February 1, 1862, in the early days of the Civil War, the Atlantic Monthly published Julia Ward Howe’s “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” summing up the cause of freedom for which the United States troops would soon be fighting. “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord,” it began. “He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword: His truth is ...

LINKDiabetes rates may surge in US young people, study finds

By: Katherine Dillinger, CNN The number of people under age 20 with type 2 diabetes in the U.S. may increase nearly 675% by 2060 if trends continue, researchers say, with an increase of up to 65% in young people with type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes — in which the pancreas makes little or no insulin — is more common in young people in the U.S., but type 2 — in which the body doesn't use insulin the way it should — has "substantially increased" in this age group over the past two ...

LINKReligion and education: Let's be perfectly clear

Despite a long-time understanding among sociologists that certain forms of religious belief and identification undercut educational attainment, contrarian social scientists and religious apologists often argue that education and religion are completely compatible. Recent arguments by Ilana Horwitz and Ryan Burge go further to claim that religion may even enhance educational success. Such arguments wither under basic scrutiny. Reliably offered by cheerleaders of religion, this perspective ...

LINKPrinceton Study: U.S. No Longer An Actual Democracy - TPM – Talking Points Memo

A new study from Princeton spells bad news for American democracy—namely, that it no longer exists. Asking “ho really rules?” researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page argues that over the past few decades America’s political system has slowly transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where wealthy elites wield most power. Using data drawn from over 1,800 different policy initiatives from 1981 to 2002, the two conclude that rich, well-connected individuals on the ...

LINKSorry, fellow Italian-Americans: Columbus was a thug. But the church was the big problem

By Celia Viggo Wexler Despite my Italian heritage, I don't understand the adulation that some Italian-Americans continue to bestow on Christopher Columbus, who, as history demonstrates, was less a hero than a thug, exploiting and enslaving indigenous peoples. But the real culprit behind the subjugation of non-European peoples across the globe wasn't an individual, or even a monarch. It was the Roman Catholic Church. It's time the church owned that grievous mistake. As early as the ...
