Our Kurdish brothers, making ‘It Gets Better’ better, and more
Today in Tablet Magazine, James Kirchick observes the parallels between the Jews and the Kurds, which have been reinforced by Israel’s recent enmity with Turkey. Parenting columnist Marjorie Ingall argues that anti-bullying projects such as the “It Gets Better” campaign, aimed at queer youth, are ineffective, and the real strategy needs focus on bullying prevention. On the Vox Tablet podcast, Rodger Kamenetz kibbitzes, in his inimitable way, about his new Nextbook Press work Burnt Books. Josh Lambert offers his usual round-up of forthcoming books of interest. The Scroll is honorarily Kurdish today.
