COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
When I see a platform given to a person whose stock in trade has become slander and libel of religion, I get concerned. I’ll be so bold as to speak for freedom-loving Oregonians (which is most of them).
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
Dr. Oz aired false propaganda formulated to generate hate against Scientologists and the Scientology religion.
MEDIA & ETHICS
With the knowledge that Renate, Tamron’s sister, was murdered and had an abusive partner, I find it unconscionable that Tamron promoted a podcast whose cohost sent his wife to the hospital.

“It is unacceptable that Tamron Hall would promote a hate campaigner against any religion—anti-Scientology is anti-Scientology, anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism, Islamophobia is Islamophobia and discrimination is discrimination.

COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
Most people are decent: They are constructive, creative, welcoming and social…
TOLERANCE
This is the germ that starts the infection—this is the first disruption of normal social interaction between two groups.
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
