It’s all evil. Pure, unadulterated evil in the name of capitalism, privatization, greed, and profit.

There is no concern of whether they are going to be well educated or passed through courses because they are athletic, you know, like UNC?

We all are

I think you’re in the wrong timeline.

I am personally looking forward to next year, when they have to codify exactly what “taking a knee” means w/r/t this policy, which will be over 20 pages and completely inscrutable and will almost certainly include the requirement that the player’s protest “survive the ground”.  

Ya know, at the start of the game, BOTH pitchers are working on perfect games. It really is rude of any batter to try to get a hit in that situation.

So you’d have sleazy reserved for adults interacting with...kids or? We have “illegal” for that. Yes, anytime someone with a distinct advantage attempts to gain a relationship they are otherwise not likely to get, that’s sleazy. If you can’t fondle a twenty-something without a job, money, or influence, and yet with…

If that was your key takeaway from this article, then that could mean two things:

Stop being reductionist. Adults getting overly familiar with their coworkers about their sex lives or other topics that make their coworkers uncomfortable is sleazy. Yes, it is.

Look, it’s just about economic insecurity. And I’m sure there were good people in this group. Many sides, folks. Many sides.

I’m sure that this was all due to economic anxiety.

Let me guess, they then ran off like the cowards they are.

Eh, my church does yearly budget meetings letting everyone know how the money is spent. It’s no mega church.

How unfortunate that so many people are responding to this heartfelt piece with their own biases. Whether or not YOU find a religious congregation worth pursuing, whether or not YOU believe in God or faith is not the point. This writer does, and she should be allowed to express that and her disappointment in her…

Upstate NY is the most racist place I have ever lived. I have lived in Arizona.

I wish they could see it’s the best fit for their white family, too.

WOW - I’m so appalled and sorry you had to experience this from a place that is supposed to love and accept unconditionally! Honestly I can’t imagine the same happening if this was reversed and you had adopted two “white” babies at an all black congregation. This just shows that we have soooo much further to go…

The degree to which white people everywhere are unaware of the normalized racism all around us is one of the greatest obstacles to achieving meaningful and lasting progress. I grew up to liberal parents five miles from Stone Mountain, Ga., and I was basically an adult before it occurred to me how screwed up Stone…

Your kids are freakin’ adorable and I’m glad that you found a welcoming church, AND I’m sorry that your former church comrades were garbage people.

This was beautiful. I hope your former congregants read this! The Evangelical church has become a vehicle for white supremacy, and more people need to speak about it.
