Progress In Racial Equity

Posted on October 10, 2022 by lewbornmann

The U.S. has now become the second most unequal developed nation in the world. It is unconscionable that opposition to racial equality in society continues to persist necessitating the need to create systems, policies, and structures opposing racial barriers that supposedly no longer exist.

Increasing Social Unrest

Posted on September 19, 2022 by lewbornmann

Acute challenges to democracy include a deterioration in the integrity of constitutional democracy, manipulation of state election laws to limit or overturn the will of voters, and a global trend toward autocracy in places where democratic institutions once seemed solid. Republicans have become a violent and vocal minority who do not want to willingly relinquish power. Convention matters and complacency when democratic conventions are flouted is dangerous.

Education Is Expensive

Posted on September 13, 2022 by lewbornmann

Several studies have shown that the revenue derived from providing free education would about double the actual costs of a college degree. There actually was a time in U.S. history when people could attend public colleges for free. It is time to once again provide cost-free education for all. Continue reading →

Democracy’s Decline

Posted on August 15, 2022 by lewbornmann

Global freedom has continuously declined every consecutive year for over a decade. While democracy can meet the challenges of the 21st century better than authoritarianism, the promise of democracy must remain real and powerful and those believing in freedom must not only defend it but broaden its reach as one of the great causes of our time.

Ongoing LGBT Issues

Posted on October 25, 2021 by lewbornmann

The gay rights movement in the U.S. has experienced great progress but much LGBTQ discrimination remains. Those of us who are straight are the majority and need to help eliminate bigotry wherever or whenever it is encountered. Continue reading →

Irreconcilable Division

Posted on June 21, 2021 by lewbornmann

Americans are divided more than ever on almost every issue imaginable: social issues, race, gender, the economy…. It no longer is just Republican vs. Democrat or liberal vs. conservative – now it has become the 1 percent vs. the 99 percent, rural vs. urban…. White men against minorities. Climate change believers against doubters. Sex and race; faith and ethnicity. Continue reading →
