SUMMARY:The Critical Race Theory Confusion
DESCRIPTION:The friction and confusion surrounding “Critical Race Theory” is due to a confluence of factors. First\, it is not well understood by the public at large. Second\, it is being intentionally distorted by rightwing extremists in order to stoke fear and gain power. Third\, candid understanding of racism in the U. S. is overwhelming in the best of circumstances.  Ethical Humanist Leader Hugh Taft-Morales will explore these three factors in order to help us make sense of CRT and its place in our social dialogue.   \n  \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please email us at info@ncethicalsociety.org and provide your first and last name in your request.

SUMMARY:How To Spot a Liar (Ted Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Ethical people should not lie\, right?  Well\, this Ted Talk looks at lying\, and how to spot a liar.  But don’t get too comfortable\, you may be a part of the problem!   Pamela Meyer’s Ted Talk will educate us\, and lead us into a discussion about lying.  Here is how her talk is described on the Ted Talk website:  On any given day we’re lied to from 10 to 200 times\, and the clues to detect those lies can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer\, author of “Liespotting\,” shows the manners and “hotspots” used by those trained to recognize deception — and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving. (Contains mature content) \n  \nThis program will be presented via a Zoom session. You do not need a Zoom account to “attend” this virtual meeting.  If you would like to be a participant in the meeting\, please email us at info@ncethicalsociety.org and provide your first and last name in your request.

SUMMARY:Russ Feingold and the American Constitution Society
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce that the guest speaker for this All-Society Platform is former US Senator and Current President of the American Constitution Society (ACS)\, Russ Feingold. Senator Feingold will speak about the ACS\, a national network of over 250 lawyer and law student chapters who are working together to offer platforms for discussion\, opportunities for networking and mentoring\, and working at the federal\, state\, and local levels for a progressive vision of the law. Through grassroots working groups in states across the country\, ACS is working closely with the Biden-Harris Administration and other state and local elected officials to recommend qualified and diverse candidates for judicial and other legal positions. ACS is engaged in efforts to protect democracy\, advance truth and justice\, and transform our laws and legal systems to protect the lives of all people – not just the special interests of a few. ACS advocates for voting rights and non-partisan redistricting; mobilizing and educating voters about their rights; raising awareness and increasing engagement on down ballot races and connecting our members with opportunities to support voting rights and election integrity. \nPrior to joining the ACS\, Senator Feingold is perhaps best known for his bipartisan effort\, with John McCain\, to reform campaign financing through the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002. \nSpecial thanks to the Ethical Humanist Society of Long Island for organizing this event. \nAbout our Speakers:\nRuss Feingold is the President of the American Constitution Society. He served as a United States Senator from Wisconsin from 1993 to 2011 and a Wisconsin State Senator from 1983 to 1993. From 2013 to 2015\, he served as the United States Special Envoy to the Great Lakes Region of Africa and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. During his 18 years in the United States Senate\, Russ was ranked 6th in the Senate for bipartisan voting. He is a recipient of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award and cosponsored the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (McCain-Feingold Act)\, the only major piece of campaign finance reform legislation passed into law in decades. Russ was the only Senator to vote against the initial enactment of the USA PATRIOT Act during the first vote on the legislation and was well-known for his opposition to the Iraq War and as the Senate’s leading opponent of the death penalty.
