Naomi Riley: How do absurd ideas become part of mainstream discussion while reasonable policy disagreements are pushed outside the bounds of legitimate discourse? Riley : I didn't “disclose” that I’m an adoptive mother because it isn’t true.
Author Roxanna Asgarian is the author of a widely acclaimed book titled We Were Once a Family , which investigates why a couple drove their six black adopted children off a cliff in a murder-suicide.
The New York Times published an op-ed by Laura Putnam-Hornstein about child welfare reform.
She says she doesn't believe in journalistic objectivity, but journalists have the obligation to interrogate systems of power.
Asgarian accused her of being “cryogenically frozen in the 1980s ” and, naturally, a “racist” She says the truly powerless are the children not the parents.
When I ran for school board a few years ago (on the platform that kids in our district should read more books), my opponents took their cue from this kind of online nonsense and called me a racist in community forums that my neighbours read.
I am fortunate to work for the American Enterprise Institute , an organisation that allows me to follow the evidence wherever it leads.
