Last week, historian @BenjaminEPark was removed from the website of @BYUMaxwell, where he'd been a 2018 fellow. He doesn't know why, or whether someone at BYU made the decision or was acting on instructions from the @LDSchurch. https://t.co/0nNeWHHJL0 @RNS @TheGrandScoobah

the radicalization of my father over the past few years is one of the most magical things in my life. he has made me a believer in the power of political education -- the books, podcasts, etc all really matter. thank you @Isabelwilkerson, you've changed my dad's life.
