- For 115 years, the NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, has been advancing the cause of justice for Black Americans. For 111 years, the Anti-Defamation League has been doing much the same for Jewish Americans. And for 104 years, the American Civil Liberties Union has been safeguarding the constitutional rights of everyone in the United States.
So which group is protecting, advocating and advancing the rights of Latter-day Saints?
While The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints certainly looks out for its own interests and apologetic groups defend church teachings, no independent organization is dedicated to civil rights for members.
It’s time to change that, argues Public Square Magazine. In a recent staff editorial, the online publication written from a Latter-day Saint perspective, called for the establishment of a civil rights organization to advocate for the rights of members in “political, legal and cultural spaces.”
On this week’s show, Public Square Managing Editor C.D. Cunningham and Associate Editor Brianna Holmes discuss why such a group is needed, how it could operate and whom it could benefit.
This is the mormon bubble ..what about your racist past...ugh😢
Tapir is hate speech? lol
It's funny how the comments section on this video proves that such a group is indeed necessary.
Does it though? Grow up.
@@minaguta4147 was the insult necessary?
If you think that The Book of Mormon musical made people not respect Mormons, wait until the courts fine the LDS church for all of the sex abuse in the Boy Scouts! That decision will be such a shocker that everyone will know the name Mormon and it will be a name of shame. Unfortunate fact. The last few years has made the Book of Mormon musical become a fond memory compared to today's scandals that blemish the church's name. Consider these names: Tim Ballard, Chad Daybell, Lori Vallow, Ruby Franke, and Jodi Hildebrandt. How many mini-series will be created to tell their stories for years? I am sorry, but the church members are not really being persecuted.
Yeah! When will lds members get the right to vote? Oh they've got that. When will members get the right to assembly? How about to legally get married? Use the bathroom? Employment? Housing? Oh... they've got all that.
Like NAMBLA?
