Linda Valdez has this commentary on the Arizona Republic:
The idea that religion is under attack and in need of accommodation was planted by right-wing politicians and nurtured by their media co-conspirators. After all, is there anything wrong with this country that can’t be fixed with Christmas nativity scenes, prayer in school and a plaque in every courtroom listing the Ten Commandments? Their arguments favor Christianity, but the result of too much deference to religion is being played out at Harvard. At the request of the Harvard Islamic Society, women-only hours were instituted at the campus Quadrangle Recreational Athletic Center. It’s being called accommodation.
