So...I agree with this piece in every respect. What's strange to me, though, is that if we're really concerned about Puritanism, the *main* target of critique should be institutions explicitly built around codified forms of Puritanism sanctified by a deity.https://twitter.com/bariweiss/status/1144739239348752384 …

Religious schools routinely apply ideological tests to instructors before hiring. Curriculums are built around ideological purity. Houses of worship don't tend to invite "alternative perspectives". Aren't those institutions the epitome of dangerous, censorial groupthink?

The answer, of course, is that through a strange slight of hand, critics of the intellectual rot that attends *orthodoxy* somehow exempt religious institutions from the charge that they, too, are contributors. /x
