The Harper’s letter is a declaration intended to resist the poisonous atmosphere suffocating those who don’t enjoy our platforms and profiles. We are not taking issue with critique, but with the idea that those who express certain views must not simply be criticized but have their epaulets torn off—demoted, shunned, and personally vilified.   As...

It was because of professors like Pocock that I received the lenses through which I learned to observe reality and gained perspective on how religion and politics interact.
