This sounds like a good thing, right?\\n\\n\\n\\nSince this is the Trump administration you would be right to be skeptical. The commission will be defining human rights based on \\u201cNatural Law\\u201d, an old concept co-opted by the Catholic Church in the middle ages. In modern Christian Nationalist usage, \\u201cNatural Law\\u201d is marriage is between one man and one woman, abortion is murder, the only appropriate place for a woman is at home with the kids, and basically any and all conservative Christian dogma they want to push.\\n\\n\\n\\nUtah school board members compare themselves to Galileo while trying to block teaching Earth is billions of years old\\n\\n\\n\\nThe Utah state school board overwhelmingly approved the new science standards by a margin of 11 to 4. The four conservatives who voted against the standards wanted \\u201cboth sides\\u201d to be presented on evolution and climate change. One member tried to get the age of the earth removed from the standard and another wanted students to study whether water vapor was responsible for climate change rather than carbon.\\n\\n\\n\\nTo justify her vote Lisa Cummins said \\u201cGalileo was mocked and ridiculed. If we shut down that discussion, that\\u2019s not critical thinking.\\u201d\\n\\n\\n\\nTennessee prosecutor: Gay people not entitled to domestic violence protections\\n\\n\\n\\nCraig Northcott is the District Attorney of Coffee County, Tennessee and special prosecutor investigating the state\\u2019s House speaker.
