  1. Fed\u00ader\u00adal Agen\u00adcies Lost Track of Near\u00adly 1,500 Migrant Chil\u00addren Placed With Spon\u00adsors<\/span><\/a> (Ron Nixon, New York Times): \u201c\u2026<\/span>the agency had lost track of near\u00adly 1,500 migrant chil\u00addren it placed with spon\u00adsors in the Unit\u00aded States, rais\u00ading con\u00adcerns they could end up in the hands of human traf\u00adfick\u00aders or be used as labor\u00aders by peo\u00adple pos\u00ading as rel\u00ada\u00adtives.\u201d This is an arti\u00adcle from April about kids who arrive alone at the bor\u00adder, but I can\u2019t help but think of it when I hear sto\u00adries about new poli\u00adcies sep\u00ada\u00adrat\u00ading kids from their fam\u00adi\u00adlies at the bor\u00adder. If I am read\u00ading this cor\u00adrect\u00adly, they lost track of 20% of the minors they placed. <\/span>Out\u00adra\u00adgeous\u00adly unac\u00adcept\u00adable. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. The Wrath of God Poured Out \u2014 The Humil\u00adi\u00ada\u00adtion of the South\u00adern Bap\u00adtist Con\u00adven\u00adtion<\/span><\/a> (Albert Mohler, per\u00adson\u00adal blog): this is pure fire. I pray lead\u00aders in the Assem\u00adblies of God will act with sim\u00adi\u00adlar courage should it become nec\u00ades\u00adsary.  <\/span><\/li>\n
  3. What Our Iden\u00adti\u00adty Search\u00ades Real\u00adly Reveal<\/span><\/a> (Eric Park\u00ader, Gospel Coali\u00adtion): \u201c<\/span>the most sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant ques\u00adtion in under\u00adstand\u00ading per\u00adson\u00adal iden\u00adti\u00adty is not \u2018<\/span>Who<\/span><\/i> am I?\u2019 but \u2018<\/span>Whose<\/span><\/i> am I?\u2019\u2026 This one turn of phrase might be the most sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant turn of thought we could ever make. But since many of us haven\u2019t made that turn of thought, we inhab\u00adit <\/span>con\u00adstruct\u00aded<\/span><\/i> iden\u00adti\u00adties rather than <\/span>received<\/span><\/i> iden\u00adti\u00adties.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Chi\u00adna\u2019s social cred\u00adit sys\u00adtem has blocked peo\u00adple from tak\u00ading 11 mil\u00adlion flights and 4 mil\u00adlion train trips<\/span><\/a> (Tara Fran\u00adcis Chan, Busi\u00adness Insid\u00ader): \u201ca for\u00admer offi\u00adcial, Hou Yunchun, is quot\u00aded as say\u00ading the sys\u00adtem needs to be improved so \u2018dis\u00adcred\u00adit\u00aded peo\u00adple become bank\u00adrupt.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Why Being a Fos\u00adter Child Made Me a Con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive<\/span><\/a> (Rob Hen\u00adder\u00adson, New York Times): \u201cIndi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals have rights. But they also have respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties. For instance, when I say par\u00adents should pri\u00ador\u00adi\u00adtize their chil\u00addren over their careers, there is a sense of unease among my peers. They think I want to blame indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals rather than a neb\u00adu\u00adlous foe like pover\u00adty. They are most\u00adly right.\u201d The author just grad\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded from Yale. Worth read\u00ading regard\u00adless of your polit\u00adi\u00adcal alle\u00adgiances.<\/span><\/li>\n
  6. Mar\u00adriage name game: What kind of guy would take his wife\u2019s last name?<\/span><\/a> (Phys.org): \u201c<\/span>[The study] found that among men with less than a high school degree, 10.3 per\u00adcent report\u00aded chang\u00ading their sur\u00adname. Among men with a high school degree but no col\u00adlege, it was 3.6 per\u00adcent, and among men with any col\u00adlege, only 2 per\u00adcent. None of the men sur\u00adveyed who had an advanced degree changed their name.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  7. The Racism Tread\u00admill<\/a> (Cole\u00adman Hugh\u00ades, Quil\u00adlette): \u201cIn an econ\u00ado\u00admy increas\u00ading\u00adly based on cog\u00adni\u00adtive labor, it\u2019s hard to imag\u00adine a cul\u00adtur\u00adal fea\u00adture more harm\u00adful than a social\u00adly-enforced taboo on aca\u00add\u00ade\u00adm\u00adic striv\u00ading. But wor\u00adries about the harm caused by the \u2018act\u00ading white\u2019 epi\u00adthet have been met with skep\u00adti\u00adcism by pro\u00adgres\u00adsives.\u201d The author is an under\u00adgrad at Colum\u00adbia Uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
