Plus: Well-Intentioned AmeriCorps Now Rotten to Core After Falling to Woke Left
February 23 2023
Good morning from Washington, where the volunteer service agency known as AmeriCorps doesn’t sweat the details about how much money it awards for “diversity” and “equity.” Roman Jankowski has details. Children’s books by the author of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” get a scrubbing for ideological purity. Jarrett Stepman strikes back. On the podcast, evidence that God isn’t canceled at colleges and universities. Plus: DOJ prosecutes more pro-life activists; Vimeo takes down a documentary about detransitioners; and Ohio scores with election reforms. Forty-five years ago tonight, Grammy skips the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and, in an unprecedented tie, awards the Best Song statuette both to Barbra Streisand’s “Evergreen (Love Theme from ‘A Star Is Born’)” and Debby Boone’s “You Light Up My Life.”
The agency clearly is more focused on hiring persons of the right color or gender, or whom it believes have the same climate change values, rather than choosing the best persons.
Catholic Vote President Brian Burch says that DOJ’s announcement “further confirms that this administration will spare no expense or resource when it comes to hunting down pro-life Americans.”
“Entire nations’ destinies have been defined by what we teach children, and that is exactly what … is at stake here,” says Asra Nomani, author of “Woke Army.”
As often seems to be the case, light gets brighter when darkness grows, and a spiritual revival on the campus of Asbury University, a Christian school, is a testament to this reality.
