Prompt for Reaction Paper #5
In recent years, especially since the George Floyd protests of late spring and summer 2020, many traditional (especially older) liberals have expressed concern about the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) shifting its program from “non-partisan” defense of civil liberties to “politicized” advocacy of social justice causes, especially racial justice causes. It is reasonable to suggest that the concern of these troubled ACLU supporters stems partly from the inconsistent and even contradictory messaging of the ACLU’s communications operatives. In their outreach to members of the public via press conferences and social media, the ACLU’s communications people emphasize the systemically racist character of many American institutions and the imperative to reduce (or eradicate) racial disparities. At the same time, much of the ACLU’s social justice-themed advocacy centers on the expansion of programs and services — child allowance payments, postal banking, etc. — that would benefit broad layers of the working and middle classes irrespective of their ethnoracial status.
Questions for you to address in your commentary: 1) In their advocacy work and their public messaging, to what extent and how are the ACLU’s program directors drawing from Critical Race Theory and the New Abolitionism — i.e. both the sociolegal vocabulary and the political content of Critical Race Theory and the New Abolitionism? In your commentary, you need to demonstrate that you have engaged with the article written by Torres, or the article written by Akbar — or both. 2) How might the ACLU programming and messaging resonate differently if it borrowed ideas from Lynd (on collective socioeconomic rights)?
These are not simple questions with straightforward answers, or questions to which there are clearly right and wrong answers. (Although some answers might be “better” than others, in the sense that they show a sound understanding of the texts and issues, are well-reasoned and well-written, and so on.) Do your best to synthesize your commentary on Questions #1 and #2.

Part 3 Religion: Structural Power & Authority
Religion, State & Nation: Despite classical
theorizing that with modernity, religion will
retreat from the public sphere into the private,
religion continues to exert enormous power in
public life, most especially in the organization
of the American state and in our “idea” of
“America,” the nation. Today, we will explore
the secularization thesis: what does secularism
mean? Is America a secular state? Is the
secular-religious divide a real or false binary in
the American context? We will examine the
intersection of religion and state and our
ongoing reality of an uptick in religious
nationalism and its shaping of debates of civic
life.

include the following items:
a. Give at least three ways in which this happens. Provide examples for each of the three
ways. This does not have to be limited to the book. Consider using other sources. Are
people disproportionally effected across race and gender lines? If so, explain?
b. What role does it play in the lives of students making life decisions? Give at least three
examples for each.
c. Apply at least one of the major theoretical paradigms (conflict, functionalism, or
symbolic interaction) to help explain win-win. What role do the major institutions play in
the construction and perpetuating of the Elite’s charade?

In Thomas Picketty’s Capital in the 21st Century, the crux of the argument deals with rising global income inequality. Provide a critical analysis of what you see as the most salient social consequence(s) of income inequality. Include how you would use social policy to address these consequences and/or shape new futures. You may include evidence or data to support your argument.

is addressing: How are families reflective of particular social arrangements? How
do families navigate those same arrangements?
b. Based on the authors’ or editors’ approach to the issues or any explicitly stated
philosophy, what is the text’s underlying political and social agenda? The answer
to this question should not be: “the book’s subject is…”, but rather, an
identification of what the authors’ or editors’ want. What changes in policy,
practice, or social structures do they want to bring about? What are they trying to
persuade their readers of?
c. How does the text relate to the course reserve readings, lectures or other
materials? Be very explicit— citing other readings, concepts from lectures, films,
or speakers specifically. What does the text add to your understanding of the
issues we are addressing in this course? Just mentioning other materials is not
adequate. You should explain how they relate to the book or vice versa.What does the text suggest about the social contexts, forces, and relations that
shape families? In answering this question, think about what dynamics the author

mediation between them? ( 15 sentences for part 1)
