“Quoting Leah Remini on the subject of Scientologists or their religion is no different than quoting a white supremacist about Jews or their faith,” said National STAND Director Bari Berger. “Racism is racism, anti-Semitism is anti-Semitism, Islamophobia is Islamophobia and hate is hate. Young’s ignorant coverage gives a platform to lies and targets Scientologists for their religion. Such discrimination has no place in 2020.”

Many years ago, at the dawn of the personal computer era, I had a nerdy friend who always seemed to be happy. One day I asked him what his secret was. He said, “Easy. Every morning when I get up, I say to myself, ‘Reset. Start.’” Reset: To return something to its initial state; to set to zero.
COMBATING BIGOTRY & HATE
Then there have been a slew of high-profile tragedies including the New Zealand mosque attacks, the Easter Sunday bombing of Christian churches in Sri Lanka and several synagogue shootings in the United States and Europe. We seem to be living in a time of increased bigotry and even violence against people who are “different” whether of the “wrong” religion, skin color, gender or whatever.
