TL;DR: An ecumenical and conservative religious journal has stopped hiring Ivy League graduates as they "[can] make inflammatory accusations at the drop of a hat".
I had never heard of this journal before, but I can't say that I'm quite surprised by this statement given the unprecedented left/right schism in the US. Not arguing for/against it, I just don't think it's newsworthy enough to make HN front page.
- belval 5y agoYou never heard of the Wall Street Journal? Not saying it's always high quality but it's definitely considered a legitimate news source. EDIT: Parent meant the writer affiliated journal and not WSJ.
- the_only_law 5y agoI think the GP is referring to whatever organization the writer actually works for, as opposed the WSJ where this article happens to be > They would seem ideal for my organization, which aims to speak for religious and social conservatives > Mr. Reno is editor of First Things.
- dagw 5y agoThe article is written by an editor at some publications called "First Things" that is put out by the Institute on Religion and Public Life. Personally I've never heard of either of them. It is not the WSJ saying these things.
- leblancfg 5y agoYeah agreed, I wasn't being clear there.
