John DiIulio resigns as head of Faith Based Initiative
John DiIulio is resigning as head of the Bush Administration's so-called Faith Based Initiative (FBI). The Washington Post reports that:
...DiIulio's allies charged that the resignation meant the White House's faith initiative...had been taken over by religious conservatives.
"The departure of John DiIulio means George Bush officially becomes the president of white America," said the Rev. Eugene Rivers, a black minister who appeared with Bush in Austin and Washington as a vigorous backer of the effort. "The message in Professor DiIulio's departure is that the black and the poor in the inner cities can go to hell. It sends a signal that the faith-based office will just be a financial watering hole for the right-wing white evangelists."
Of course, why anybody should believe anything that DiIulio says is itself in question. Besides being on the payroll of the conservative philanthropies, his previous research and writings have proven to be spectacularly wrong. The 1996 book that he co-wrote with fellow sponsored conservatives William J. Bennett and John Walters that warned of a coming wave of teenage "superpredators" led to a nationwide wave of teenage imprisonment and prison building - yet the predicted sociatal change never occured - a concept which, according to the New York Times he now "regrets" promoting.
