The open\u00ading lines of his con\u00adfes\u00adsion, \u201cMy name is Patrick. I am a sin\u00adner, a sim\u00adple coun\u00adtry per\u00adson, and the least of all believ\u00aders. I am looked down upon by many.\u201d Skip down to verse 16 for some of the wild stuff.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Shame Cul\u00adture<\/span><\/a> (David Brooks, BYT): \u201cThe guilt cul\u00adture could be harsh, but at least you could hate the sin and still love the sin\u00adner. The mod\u00adern shame cul\u00adture alleged\u00adly val\u00adues inclu\u00adsion and tol\u00ader\u00adance, but it can be strange\u00adly unmer\u00adci\u00adful to those who dis\u00adagree and to those who don\u2019t fit in.\u201d See also <\/span>Scape\u00adgoats in the Cul\u00adture War<\/span><\/a> (Conor Frieder\u00ads\u00addorf, The Atlantic).<\/span><\/li>\n

  5. The Glar\u00ading Evi\u00addence That Free Speech Is Threat\u00adened On Cam\u00adpus<\/span><\/a> (Conor Frieder\u00ads\u00addorf, The Atlantic): \u201cTo sum up: free speech on cam\u00adpus is threat\u00adened from a dozen direc\u00adtions. It is threat\u00adened by police spies, overzeal\u00adous admin\u00adis\u00adtra\u00adtors, and stu\u00addents who are intol\u00ader\u00adant of dis\u00adsent.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
