4 times The Gospel Coalition outdid itself for bigotry August 19, 2016

3. The “Black Lives Don’t Matter” post

Voddie Baucham should probably have his own post. Fortunately, Homeschoolers Anonymous has already done it. Baucham has spoken at a male supremacist homeschool convention, and advocated an “all-day session” of spanking toddlers to “wear them out”.

Of course The Gospel Coalition has given him a platform. Of the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, Baucham wrote: “Brown reaped what he sowed, and was gunned down in the street. That is the sad truth.”

Four black evangelical leaders who examined Baucham’s piece described it as “extremely anti-black”. Meanwhile, in June 2016, the Polemics Report did an analysis of The Gospel Coalition’s “soft bigotry and overt racism”.
