New Documents Link CIA to Medical Torture of Indigenous Children and Black Prisoners: While we may never know the full truth, we owe it to those harmed and killed to illuminate their stories. The documentary record of “mind control” experiments conducted by the United States and other governments during the Cold War is just the tip of the iceberg, and our collective ignorance is by design.

Counterpoint: There are Many Gender Identities; When Should We Share That Knowledge With Children? The first question asked when a baby is born is their gender. That question is always binary, a boy or a girl. sexual identity is now front and center on our political stage, joining the controversy about sex education. Education about “how babies are made” has long been debated — who should answer this question, and at what age? The issue broadens today with our new awareness that sexual identity is not binary. Should we deny it? Share it? Teach about it in school? In books? At what age?

# General News
Mass Shootings, Firebombings, and Death Threats: A joint report from GLADD and ADL puts hard numbers behind the rise in hate against America’s queer communities. Hate crimes reported to police in America’s ten largest cities rose 12.5 percent in 2017. The increase was the fourth consecutive annual rise in a row and the highest total in over a decade according to an analysis by the Center for the Study of Hate & Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino. In contrast to the increase in hate crime in the ten largest cities last year, crime in general dropped slightly across the nation in the first half of 2017, with preliminary FBI figures showing a 0.8 percent decrease in violent crime and a 2.9 percent decrease in property crime.
