Saturday Link Love is a new feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

Note: Inclusion does not imply full agreement. 

Mothers in Family Detention Launch Hunger Strike: ‘We Will Get Out Alive or Dead’, on Rewire—“The women say they’ve been in detention with their children between 270 and 365 days.”

The Culture Of The Smug White Liberal, on the Huffington Post—“Where do your kids go to school? Who are your friends and colleagues? Who do you see next to you while you’re in your meeting at work? What have you done to change those inequalities?”

Lavishly Decorated Ole Miss Dorm Rooms Offend Me, on XX Factor—“Apparently, this is a thing at Ole Miss.”

Education Policymakers Need to Accept the Facts, on NPQ—“Schools can and should get better; teachers can and should get better. . . . But we cannot ignore poverty.

An In-Depth Look at “I Kissed Dating Goodbye” by Joshua Harris, on Life After IKDG—“All the other books I’ve reviewed have done this: they continually conflate their ideas with “God’s will” or “what God wants for your life.””

Gothard Explains Why God Allows Child Molestation, on Homeschoolers Anonymous—“This literature begins by placing the word victim in quotes, to denote that it is not a real status (fundamentalism believes that all have sinned, there is no innocent party).”
