The US & World News forum is specifically designed for "Articles related to abuse and recovery in the U.S and around the world" as outlined in the forum description. Of late there have been threads started, or hijacked from the original poster's intent, and used as soap boxes to put forth ones own, and sometimes controversial, political world view.
That world view in and of itself is not at issue. What is at issue is that many or most do not come to this forum to be presented with controversial discussions that are outside the intent of the forum. Such discussion is potentially divisive and may cause unsafe feelings in some that are counterproductive to their healing.
Please keep the forum description in mind as you consider posting in this forum. If your post does not meet that criteria you might consider posting it in a forum whose description meets your requirements such as the "Open Forum" for posts of potentially divisive content. Also, please bear in mind that news articles that pertain to sexual abuse and/or it's aftermath are to be kept in this "US & World News Forum" per the following posted policy: Policy for Posting of Campaigns and News Items.
