The infamous Nate Forrest statue along I-65 in Nashville has come down: tennessean.com/story/news/202…
It's Thanksgiving, and my ritual is one introduced to me by @ed_kilgore: Fairport Convention's "Now Be Thankful." Gratitude surmounting suffering, and all the more beautiful. youtube.com/watch?v=qVTQ_V…
Latest report--GOP legislators are talking about forbidding contact tracing of COVID positives--because it might interfere with high school football. tennesseelookout.com/2021/08/20/sto…
It gets crazier in Tennessee: wpln.org/post/tennessee…
Minor correction: Horry County is in the *northeastern corner* of the state (Myrtle Beach).
Just looked that the actual text of the proposed rule--it cites the 1619 Project as *one example* of materials that might be useful for discussing slavery and race in the classroom. No mandate. As a historian, I have problems with *1619,* but this is a straw person.
TN is vaccinating 65+ now. I imagine 59-yr-olds will qualify sooner than you think. I (age 73) got shot #2 this afternoon.
This is the best essay on Joe Biden I’ve read - by @fotoole - Can Joe Biden make America great again? | The Guardian theguardian.com/books/2021/jan…
As America secularizes, Evangelicalism is increasingly southern Evangelicalism. It’s the population center. The power center. The culture center. And it helps explain some of the ungodly rage we see. It’s the southern culture leaking out. My Sunday essay: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/where-does-t…
A Prayer for The President of the United States, and all in Civil Authority (BCP): O Lord, our heavenly Father, . . . Most heartily we beseech thee, with thy favour to behold and bless thy servant THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, and all others in authority . . . .
Note that this was a *student* decision, not an administrative one. And it's not about "free speech"; it's about an outside group seeking an exception to stated guidelines about nondiscrimination. What if YL prohibited interracial dating a la Bob Jones?
Note that most Democrats still identify as Christian. This is only true for people (like white evangelicals) who read the majority of American Christians out of Christianity.
For some reason the CW seems to be that Trump's electoral prospects have improved in recent months. But his approve/disapprove is basically unchanged from six months ago, from the beginning of the year, or from a month ago. He remains weak. realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/p…
For Thanksgiving (HT: Ed Kilgore): youtube.com/watch?v=qVTQ_V…
1. So I’m just going to start a thread of all the faith groups/faith leaders condemning either the Trump admin’s zero tolerance policy that separates families (and/or asylum change), Sessions’ argument that the Bible supports its enforcement, or both. Here are a few.
Conexión Américas strongly condemns Governor @BillHaslam's decision on HB 2315, which ignored the thousands of Tennesseans who voiced their concerns and made it the most opposed bill on his desk. See full statement here: conexionamericas.org/hb2315statemen…

Far from perfect (it's Twitter, after all), but a mighty effort to grapple with a serious dilemma. To someone who went from mill village to Vandy prof, it makes sense. x.com/cmmcconnaughy/…

Every #MemorialDay, I share this video. French caretakers take the sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy and scrub them into the letters to give them the brown/gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.
