Hi Dr. Cycleback,
I just read your article titled “Intolerance and Illiberalism in Unitarian Universalism ” and loved it!
In the summer of 2020, I was forced to resign from my position as Music Director at a UU Church in Massachusetts because I refused to say that I’m a racist. At that time, I wrote an article titled “Illiberal ‘Liberalism’ in the UU Church: How I was a Victim of Cancel Culture. ”
Thank you for your insightful, well-written article. I feel extremely validated.
