Christine Flowers: A great pretender betrayed her Jewish roots (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hannah Gann, a teacher (at least for now), in Philadelphia’s public school system, was recently outed for having lied about her race and ethnicity. Gann is a Jew with roots in Baltimore, but pretended to be, alternately, Black, Tunisian and Palestinian, cosmetically altering her appearance and adopting a certain way of speaking that led people to believe she was “one of them.” The “them” was clearly “not white.” The ruse worked for a while, but as most lies tend to do, it unraveled. And then the
Christine Flowers: How 9/11 changed all Americans alive at the time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a good friend asked me to speak at the 9/11 ceremony in the Philadelphia suburbs, I told him I was a little surprised he would think of me. I was not a victim of the terror attacks in any immediate way. I didn’t lose any close friends or family. I am not, nor am I related to a first responder. I wasn’t even in Manhattan, or at the Pentagon, or near that bucolic piece of land in western Pennsylvania 25 years ago. But then I realized something, something quite simple: We are all victims of 9/
Christine Flowers: Love, politics and Dolly Parton (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Being a good person does not mean you are universally beloved. Look at Joan of Arc, for example. She was very good, a future saint, and yet the French for whom she sacrificed her youth and her wardrobe — battle armor is a hard look to carry off — burned her at the stake. So much for gratitude. But in the case of Dolly Parton, there is no question the Venn diagram of goodness and adoration is, like a solar eclipse, the same indistinguishable circle. The girl from Locust Ridge, Tennessee, has gone
Christine Flowers: New Massachusetts law is infanticide disguised as health care (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People used to tell me that I wrote too many columns about abortion. The staunchly “pro-choice-but-who-are-we-kidding-pro-abortion” readers were tired of hearing me expound on the value of the unborn. But even my allies in the pro-life movement wanted me, at least after Roe was overturned, to perhaps tone it down a bit. They read the room and saw that the growing hysteria from those who supported abortion and their sky-is-falling rhetoric didn’t need any more triggers. Christine, they said, cool
Christine Flowers: Time for reflections on anniversary of mother’s death (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twelve years ago, my mother passed away. It was Aug. 8, 2014, in the very early hours of a Thursday morning. I had spent the night sleeping in her bed as she lay across from me in a hospital bed. My sister would come in every hour to check on mom’s breathing, and to see if she needed anything, but we knew that she was dying. The wonderful hospice nurse hugged us tighter earlier that evening, when she left to go home. It was an unspoken message that the end, almost six months after the journey ho
