I am putting my analysis re: current events primarily in a page I made for that purpose, here: https://cornertable.us/endofamerica Some stuff will end up on my personal profile, I'm sure.
The pressure is on Facebook. Not the kind we want. It seems clear to me that Facebook and Trump made a deal, sparing Trump the treatment he got from Twitter. (I don't know what FB got in return.) But advertisers are pulling out of FB in retaliation for FB's relatively more hands off approach. I expect that FB is going to go hard line against Trump leading up to the election. It will not hold up its end of the deal.

This article encompasses so much of the frightening changes taking place in America today. A community college professor, teaching a course on world politics, taught a unit on terrorism. In that unit, he gave a quiz that included the following three questions and answers:
Who do terrorists strive to emulate? A. Mohammed
Where is terrorism encouraged in Islamic doctrine and law? A. The Medina verses [i.e., the portion of the Qur’an traditionally understood as having been revealed later in Muhammad’s prophetic career]
Terrorism is _______ in Islam. A. justified within the context of jihad.
Keep in mind, this professor has been at this college for 24 years as you continue on in the article.
The interim president, Christina Haines, apologized for the "inaccurate" and "inappropriate" questions. Haines and the school then gave the professor an apology letter to mail to the student and he was to remove the quiz questions.
The professor, Damask, refused and claimed his academic freedom was being threatened. He then defended his teaching by noting his sources in the Qur'an, the hadiths, and sira.
In May, Damask was told that before teaching any further classes on Islamic terrorism, he would have to meet with an Islamic religious leader to go over course content and he would need to take a class taught by a Muslim.
After that, the college's chancellor publicly apologized for the way in which things were handled and the lack of consideration for the Damask's academic freedom.
Then, Damask, his wife, his grandson, and his 85-year old parents started getting hundreds of death threats. The school was also threatened. And as the article says, "Damask’s calls to have those messages removed from the school’s Instagram account have not been successful to date."
This story has all of the elements of cancel culture, with an added side of reeducation and revisionist history/NewSpeak.

My cousin’s friend wrote a book for young women entering college. A book about challenges, tips, scripture, insights, balancing faith, school, relationships, etc. Haven’t read it yet, but will be starting it soon.
if anyone has any other faith related book recommendations, i’m all ears.
