About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Question on Romney's Religious Test

Not to belabor the point, but I think we all would agree that Mitt Romney is no Jack Kennedy. For Romney, a claim to secularism would be political suicide.

Yet, we are a secular country.
SO: Why did Romney never publicly questioned his church's racicist practices, particularly the policy that excluded blacks from full membership? (that policy ended in 1978.) Why the silence?

Bill Clinton had to explain his membership re: exclusive country clubs. What about Romney?
