Another week in the books. Here are some of the ILYBYGTH-themed stories that swirled around the interwebs this week:

Forget Nixon, forget Mussolini: A better historic parallel to Trump, at HNN.

The closer parallel?

Why did school-based Catholic priests commit more abuse? At HP.

The ugly truth from Alabama: Evangelicals, racism, and Trump, at WaPo.

• Is this evangelical Christianity? Union Seminary goes for a theological take-down on Twitter.

Are low-income students being squeezed out of elite universities? Nope. But another group is. At AEI.

Is there a “socialist surge” among Democrats?

• Yes, and it’s a game-changer, at RCP.
• Yes, but it’s not that big a deal, at NYT.
• No, at AS.

Did you see this one? Eighteen Oklahoma teachers explain why they’re quitting, at VICE.

How do elite schools stay so white? At NYT.

• Why can’t schools do a better job at fixing social inequality? At ILYBYGTH.

Historians wonder what to do in an era of “fake news” at CHE.

• ILYBYGTH has often wondered about the history/evolution parallel:
  • It’s not enough just to denounce “pseudo” history.
  • Is Zinn the Darwin of the history world?
  • 150 years without history is long enough!
