" #Antisemitic voices are “no longer on the fringes” of #American culture that #students are exposed to, said panelist Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski at a session discussing a new #book, #Judeophobia and the New Testament: Texts and Contexts (Eerdmans, out now), in which 35 #authors devote chapters to each of the 27 #books of the New Testament plus four extra-canonical texts.
“It’s designed for #teaching, to unpack some of the assumptions about #antisemitism and the locations of students in these issues,” says Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, director of the Center for Christian- #Jewish Learning at Boston College. His own book, Resisting Anti- #Judaism: Practices of Christian Solidarity will be released by Fortress in October 2026.
“These issues are not hypothetical, says Eric Vanden Eykel, associate professor of #religion at Ferrum College and one of three editors of Judeophobia and the New Testament."

The move was described by 3 people ahead of the announcement. 2 of these people said 6 offices within the dept would be shifted elsewhere; the 3rd person said it was at least 2.
#Trump signed an EO in March seeking to close the dept & asked #Education Secy Linda McMahon to work with #Congress to do so. The agency, which was created in 1979, has long been derided by conservatives as unnecessary & ineffective. But Congress has not acted on or seriously considered Trump’s request.
McMahon has acknowledged that only #Congress can eliminate the dept but vowed to do everything in her power to dismantle it from within.
An #Education Dept spox did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
Supporters of the dept say that the agency is effective in coordinating multiple aspects of education in one place & keeping priorities important to #students, #parents & #schools high on the federal agenda.

#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.
#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.
What Do You Talk About When You Talk About Sideloading?
What does Google?
Here's #FDroid: https://f-droid.org/2025/10/28/sideloading.html
Our nonprofit group's award winning, prosocial, non-violent video games were removed by #Google.
🤥 They claimed that we had misled them by classifying them as #educational. Google purported to know more about our work than we do.
🎮 Our free games about #consent and #healthyrelationships were unilaterally removed from Google Play, making it much tougher for us to reach and help young people.
🧡 The ubiquity of smartphones make game marketplaces a necessary channel for us to reach #adolescents directly.
