Page 2 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 2, 2022 Malden Musings: Irish American Labor Day Road Race By Peter Levine T he Malden tradition that we all look forward to and love so much is back with a vengeance! Yes, it is that time of the year again, good people of Malden! Summer is sadly in our rearview mirror, but with that gloomy reality comes some really groovy news! The annual Irish American Labor Day Road Race, making Maldonians happy for decades now, will return once again! How far out is that!? I ran into old friend Mike McCarthy at the Saint Rock Festa just last weekend! Mike reminded me that he and the rest of the boyos at the I.A. will be sponsoring their annual 5K/10K Road Race again, this time at 10, Monday morning, September 5. This is the best time of the year and Maldonians just adore this event. It is, frankly, what makes Malden so special. Mike assured me that there is still plenty of time to register. Go to https:// runsignup.com/Race/MA/Malden/IrishAmerican510kRoadRace to register beforehand. Also, if you are inclined, just go to the I.A. on West Street in person the morning of the race to register. Sign-up fee is $30. Male and female runners’ prizes will be awarded for the fi rst-, second- and third-place fi nishers for many diff erent categories. Family, friends, Malden newbies who may be complete strangers, come on by and have a great time. Mark this on your calendar for a fun-fi lled day of raffl es, music, pizza, hot dogs and (of course) “refreshments” (at the always affordable I.A. prices). This year there will be a live band playing a wide variety of music, including some good old-fashioned traditional Irish numbers. Mike wanted to personally thank the many sponsors and Irish American Labor Day Road Race 2021: retired Malden Chief of Police Kevin Molis fl anked by road race participants Sgt. Dave Ritchie (retired MPD) and Sgt. Scott Carroll (still on the job). volunteers for their continued support and generosity. Without companies like Bud Light, Cataldo Ambulance, Garelick Farms and Stop & Shop, he emphasized to me, this event could not happen. Mike also wanted to stress once again that all proceeds will go to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Every. Single. Penny. No better way to spend your hard-earned cash knowing that all proceeds go to fi ghting this hated disease.

I remember the encouragement from friendly faces along the route, and I also remember the unbearable pain I felt (during) and after! Loads of fun, though, despite the suff ering, and I really enjoyed the “refreshments” part of the day after the race. I’ll be present again this year (not running, though, in case you were wondering) and will be sure to have a “refreshment” or two – fi rst one in memory of Mike’s late brother, my pal and yours – Stevie McCarthy.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 2, 2022 Page 3 City awarded $200K Grant for Malden River Works surveys, and countless volunteer hours. The work was driven by the Malden River Works Steering Committee – a new coalition of community leaders of color, youth, environmental advocates, and government stakeholders. The MVP program has awarded over $100 million in funding and technical support to communities across the state. With this year’s awards, 97% of Massachusetts cities and towns are enrolled. The MVP program pairs local leadership and knowledge with a signifi cant investment of resources and funding from the Commonwealth to address ongoing climate change impacts like sea level rise, inland fl ooding, storms, and extreme temperatures. Grant Announcement: Baker-Polito Administration Awards Over $32 Million in Climate Change Funding to Cities and Towns Bringing Total Investment to $100 Million | Mass.gov Please visit http://www.maldenriverworks.org/ for more information. Rendering of possible improvements are pictured above. Advocate Staff Report he City of Malden is thrilled to announce it has received a $200,550 municipal climate resilience grant to continue design work on the Malden River Works project. Awarded by the Baker-Polito Administration’s Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness (MVP) program, which is administered by the Executive Offi ce of Energy and Environmental Aff airs (EEA), these competitive grants support cities and towns in identifying climate hazards, developing strategies to improve resilience, and implementing priority actions to adapt to climate change. Malden is one of 73 communities and regional partnerships to have received action-grant funding in the latest round of applications. The City has previously won T two MVP Action Grants in 2020 and 2021 for a total of $504,614 to bring the project up to 75% design. The new MVP Action Grant will be used to continue design work and permitting over the next year, with construction documents ready to go out to bid by the fall of 2023. Malden River Works was identifi ed in the City’s MVP Plan as one of the top priority actions in climate change adaptation. The project seeks to transform the Malden Department of Public Works (DPW) yard, located on Commercial Street along the Malden River, in order to incorporate climate resiliency measures into the DPW yard and create a new waterfront park for the Malden community. The DPW plays a crucial role in disaster response, managing street repairs, waste removal, and drainage repairs in the wake of climate events. “For the third year in a row, the Baker-Polito administration has rewarded our community’s tremendous eff orts to address climate change impacts,” says Mayor Christenson. “Malden River Works represents a new planning approach for Malden that reduces barriers to participation and elevates the voices of marginalized members of the community to build social resilience alongside climate resilience. Malden is grateful for the continued leadership of the Malden River Works Steering Committee on this important project.” The initial concept design was funded by a $100,000 grant from MIT’s Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism (LCAU) and crafted by a year-long community engagement process that included four public meetings, three community-wide Advocate Call now! 617-387-2200 advertise on the web at www.advocatenews.net CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING

This one-hour event will start at 7:00 p.m. sharp and admission is free. The Republican candidate for representative for the U.S. House of Representatives in Massachusetts’s District 5, Caroline Colarusso, has accepted the invitation and will be attending on September 14. The U.S. Congresswoman for the 5th District of Massachusetts, Katherine Clark, who is currently a Revere resident, has not responded to any calls to participate as of the time of writing. An open invitation has been reserved for Clark until just prior to the event. However, the event will be presented as planned on Wednesday, September 14 at 7:00 p.m., and the event promises to provide a deep understanding of the policies and the platform of at least one of the candidates. The “Meet the Congressional Candidates Night” will have the following format: 1. Two-minute introduction by the WRTC Chairman. 2. Two-three-minute address and greeting by the congressional candidates 3. Moderator will then ask both candidates the same six to eight important questions affecting citizens of our Congressional District. Candidates will have up to two minutes to give their response. 4. After the questions are completed, candidates will have three to fi ve minutes to summarize their policies and/or address the audience as they choose. 5. Questions from the audience as time permits. Four years ago, the WRTC began this highly successful nonpartisan forum of highlighting candidates during election seasons. This has given voters a familiarity with their candidates that is impossible to get from a sound bite, media ad or candidate’s fl yer. These events have also introduced the candidates to their constituents and their constituents’ positions on the issues of the day. With a critical election year around the corner, it is imperative America casts educated votes.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 2, 2022 Page 7 Mass. Legislature enacts sweeping legislation to improve access to mental healthcare T he Massachusetts Legislature recently passed an expansive mental healthcare bill, which was signed into law by Governor Baker on August 10 at Chapter 177 of the Acts of 2022. Known as the Mental Health ABC Act: Addressing Barriers to Care, this comprehensive legislation includes a wide variety of reforms to ensure equitable access to mental healthcare and remove barriers that currently make it diffi cult for many people to get the care they need. “Access to quality, affordable healthcare should be a basic human right, and that includes mental healthcare just as much as physical healthcare,” said State Senator Jason Lewis. “This sweeping legislation will enable Massachusetts to make major strides in improving access to care by better enforcing mental health parity laws, expanding the mental healthcare workforce, addressing emergency room boarding, and more. This issue has long been a high priority for me and my colleagues in the state legislature and I’m very pleased that this bill has been signed into law.” “During a national mental health emergency, Massachusetts leaders in the Legislature, Administration, and healthcare community joined to craft, pass, and sign landmark legislation to address equitable access to behavioral healthcare in the Commonwealth,” said Massachusetts Association for Mental Health (MAMH) President/CEO Danna Mauch. “MAMH applauds the pacesetting institution of universal payor participation in and coverage for annual mental wellness exams, 24/7 telephonic behavioral health helpJason Lewis State Senator line, comprehensive crisis services, behavioral health urgent care, and collaborative care as part of this roadmap for reform.” Some of the highlights of the Mental Health ABC Act: • Guaranteeing insurance coverage for an annual mental health wellness exam, comparable to an annual physical • Providing stronger tools for enforcing existing mental health parity laws • Addressing the crisis of hospital emergency room boarding by, among other steps, creating online portals that provide access to real-time data on youths and adults seeking mental health and substance abuse services and enabling healthcare providers to easily search and fi nd open beds • Implementing the new nationwide 988 hotline that will provide 24/7 suicide prevention and behavioral health crisis services • Initiating a public awareness campaign about the state’s red fl ag laws and Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) that limit access to guns for people at risk Put Your Success To Work. of hurting themselves or others • Reimbursing mental health providers equitably, with a rate fl oor that is consistent with primary care • Eliminating prior authorization for mental health acute treatment and stabilization services for adults and children • Creating a standard release form for exchanging confi dential mental health and substance use disorder information to facilitate access to treatment for patients with multiple healthcare providers • Increasing access to Emergency Service Programs (ESPs) by requiring health insurance companies to cover ESPs, community-based and recovery-oriented programs that provide behavioral health crisis assessment, intervention and stabilization services for people with behavioral health needs • Expanding access to the evidence-based Collaborative Care Model by requiring the state-contracted and commercial health plans to cover mental health and substance use disorder benefi ts off ered through the psychiatric Collaborative Care Model • Establishing an Offi ce of Behavioral Health Promotion within the Executive Offi ce of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to coordinate all state initiatives that promote mental, emotional and behavioral health and wellness for Massachusetts residents • Enhancing school-based behavioral health services and programming by creating a statewide technical assistance program to help schools implement schoolbased behavioral health services • Expanding insurance coverage www.eight10barandgrille.com We Have Reopened for Dine-In and Outside Seating every day beginning at 4 PM for vulnerable populations by enabling individuals over 26 years old who live with disabilities to remain on their parents’ health insurance • Creating a roadmap on access to culturally competent care.

The tales of Linden USA will follow in the weeks ahead brought to you by Steve Moro’s little brother, Chris: I’ve been bending Peter’s ear for some time now about whenever I read the Malden Advocate (aka The Edgeworth Times)! Yeah, that was a shot across the bow! I would tell him that I never see anything written about Linden, USA! Occasionally some blurbs about Green Street and Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order? Do you have an update Will, Health Care Proxy or Power of Attorney? If Not, Please Call for a Free Consultation. 14 Proctor Avenue, Revere (781) 284-5657 other Wards of Maldonia – never Linden USA! I would mostly run into Peter at the Italian American Citizens Club during the summer bocce season or at the Dew when grabbing a morning cup of Joe and The Advocate. Speaking about a cup of Joe, Peter would be sitting there with his brother Joe (Hi Joe!). In hindsight, I guess, it started there and carried over to the IACC. I would go over to Peter and say my “hellos” and then I would start on him (assault being a better word): “What gives, Peter?!” “Again, always about Edgeworth!” Pete would just sit there as I rambled on and on. God bless you, Peter, for letting me vent my frustrations like “Otis from Mayberry” I can be on some nights. You’re a Saint, Peter (no pun intended)! Then one day Pete says to me, “Look Chris, I don’t know much about Linden, okay.” “Sure, I know some guys from Linden but that’s it! Then with a pause he says, “Chris, if you want me to write about Linden, (this is his exact quote) “I need some ‘meat,’ provide me with the meat then I’ll add the potatoes and I’ll write about Linden!” So, I say, okay Peter, “I’ll do that!” So, here it comes, “the meat and potatoes” on Linden, USA!” Postscript 1: Hard to believe my little buddy Mark Chopelas has been gone 19 years now. I walked by “Choppa Field” last week with brother Joe and thought of the little sparkplug who always passed me the ball on the hoop courts of Malden! The guy with the biggest and the best smile, ever! The standup guy who would go to the wall for any of his “pallys.” “Choppa” may no longer be with us physically, but he is certainly in the hearts and minds of many Maldonians, today and always. Miss seeing him walk through the door and greeting me with a (very loud) “PISTOL Pete!” Postscript 2: My father, Solomon aka Zulick, wore his Star of David proudly right up until the day he died. A voracious reader he had a saying after scanning the obituaries, noticing the passing of yet another lantzman; he’d say to nobody in particular, “We lost another friend today.” Zulick, we lost another friend today... “Peabody lost one of their own, Celia Scholnick Levine (no relation), peacefully in her sleep August 3, 2022, at the wise age of 96 years young. “Though she wanted to be a singer, Celia went to school at Peabody High and for 49 years worked as an accounts receivable bookkeeper at New Eng¬land Sportswear. Marrying a young man named William ‘Bill’ Levine, whom she had fi rst met at a dance, Celia’s legacy is followed by her two sons and daughters-in-law, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. “As a second-generation American and matriarch of the family, Celia’s stories scatter the globe: hot air balloon-riding in San Diego and family adventures in Kauai, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Vermont, Mexico, and Australia. “She taught many lessons about life and living it to its fullest: “1. Be sure to stay active, but follow it with coff ee, donuts, and schmoozing with friends. “2. One can never have enough Honey Dew Coff ee, ice cream from Richardson’s, and popcorn and saltwater taffy from Salem Willows; and “3. If there is a bathroom, use it. You don’t know where the next one is going to be.” Postscript 3: Woodstock came to a wild, climatic end 53 years ago this past August 18 with an early morning set by the Jimi Hendrix Experience. That week, I remember, as a 12-year-old, listening to concert stories told by “hippies” and Devir Park concertgoers trickling back to the Bandstand at Devir: the drug usage stories, the sleeping in the mud stories, the amazing hitchhiking stories, skinny-dipping stories and oh, of course, the music.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 2, 2022 Page 11 Boston Book Festival’s Shelf Help program returns this school year Libraries at UP Academy Holland in Dorchester and Malden High School to get infusion of high-quality books, author visits O n August 26, the Boston Book Festival (BBF) in partnership with the Boston-based nonprofit literacy organization Wondermore announced that UP Academy Holland in Dorchester and Malden High School are the 2022 recipients of this year’s Shelf Help grants, which will include an infusion of new books and author visits by “Frizzy” author Claribel A. Ortega and illustrator Rose Bousamra, and Malinda Lo, author of “A Scatter of Light.” The BBF’s Shelf Help partnership is a competitive grant program that provides two Greater Boston area school libraries (one K-8 and one 9-12) with new books to expand and update their collections. In addition, each school will have a visit by an author or illustrator curated by Wondermore, a local organization dedicated to inspiring young readers. The Shelf Help author school visits will take place on Friday, October 28. “Literature can change lives and the Boston Book Festival, through our Shelf Help initiative, strives to put great children’s literature on the shelves of under-resourced schools where kids can read and be challenged, entertained, and inspired by them,” said BBF Founder and Board Chair/Executive Director Deborah Porter. “As always, it is a pleasure to work with our fabulous partner, Wondermore, in accomplishing this goal.” The purchase of new books for the school libraries is made possible by donations from anyone wanting to help stock the school libraries. From now until the end of October, the BBF is accepting monetary donations at bostonbookfest.org/year-roundevents/shelf-help to hit each school’s goal of $1,500. Books for the new libraries will be delivered in November. At UP Academy Holland in Dorchester, “Frizzy” author Claribel A. Ortega and artist Rose Bousamra will visit. “Frizzy” (MacMillan) is a middle-grades graphic novel that will be released on Oct. 18, 2022. Malden High School (77 Salem St., librarian Mary Liberge) will have an in-person appearance by Malinda Lo, author “A Scatter of Light” (Dutton Books for Young Readers). Fresh off the success of her book “Last Night at the Telegraph Club,” which won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature in 2021, among other honors, Lo’s novel will be released on Oct. 4, 2022. UP Academy Holland’s librarian, Iris Santana, said that in addition to the gift of the books is the lasting lesson for the students of seeing themselves in the characters and their authors. “Representation is very important. If students can see themselves in people who teach them, it empowers them to achieve equal greatness,” Santana said. “It can inspire students when they see members of the world at large not only for young girls of color, but as an opportunity to look through their own mirrors and experiences. It will perhaps provide a window to diff erent perspectives, too.” BBF is partnering with Wondermore, which originally began in 1983 as The Children’s Literature Foundation. As Wondermore, the organization now focuses on connecting Boston-area students to authors and illustrators who reflect the region’s diverse and vibrant communities. In 2017, BBF launched its Shelf Help partnership program, a community-driven, youth-focused initiative aimed to expand a love of reading in children and young adults. A competitive annual grant program, Shelf Help awards two Boston-area school libraries: • Brand-new, high-quality, culturally relevant books to fi ll their libraries in an eff ort to draw in more readers, to increase the number of books in schools that often have little or no funding for new collections and to ensure that books are meeting the needs and interests of the students in that particular school • A memorable school visit by a celebrated children’s/young adult author or illustrator curated by Wondermore’s experienced team. BBF Deputy Director Jessica Kent said Shelf Help off ers a lasting way for students to connect with reading. “We've all experienced it: there was something incredibly special about holding a new book in your hand and wondering what new adventure you'd fi nd inside,” said Kent. “As a kid, meeting an author in person—someone who wrote the FESTIVAL | SEE PAGE 20 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 2-4PM SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10 (FREE GIFTS) H ANG | SALSA | EO AEHALL | TAP | E | SIC & DANCE RA | UAL THEATRE Contact lilphunk2@aol.comformore information I ~ Letter to the Editor ~ Endorsement of State Representative Steven Ultrino am here to offi cially endorse State Representative Steven Ultrino for another term in offi ce.

By Steve Freker E very time they play the game, everyone involved is etching a small place in the overall history of their respective school by participating in the game. For real, not even the once-in-100-years COVID-19 pandemic could derail the – now longest in the nation – Malden-Medford football rivalry. While other rivalry series paused due to the once-in-100-years pandemic, the show did go on for the Malden-Medford game. How long is this series, anyway? It is so long that it has actually been played despite two pandemics, including the Flu Pandemic that swept the world in 1918-19. With some fantastic news that has just been announced, the traditional football rivalry just got even more special: Game #135 of the heralded series will be played on Tuesday, November 22 – at FENWAY PARK in Boston, home of the Boston Red Sox! Fenway Sports Management (FSM) earlier this year announced that high school football would be returning to “America's Most Beloved Ballpark” this fall and now has announced that Malden-Medford Game #135 will be part of a fivegame slate to be played at Fenway Park set for Thanksgiving Week. Malden High School will take on Medford High School on Tuesday night, November 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Fenway Park. “We are extremely grateful to the Fenway Sports Management group for the opportunity to play our long standing, continuous rivalry football game against Medford in historic Fenway Park,” said Malden Public Schools Athletic Director Charlie Conefrey. “Thank you to athletic director Bobby Maloney and the Medford High School administration for making this possibility a reality for our kids.” “Both the Malden and Medford communities will get to experience this historic rivalry that dates back to the 1880s,” said Conefrey, himself a 1997 Malden High School graduate. “There is always something special about football under the lights, but this brings a whole new meaning.” SAVE THE DATE Catered by: Henry s Catering , 1979/1980 Class BBQ Sept. 24th, 2022 1:30 – 5:30 $40 per person Elks Grove • 401 Main St• Saugus MA 01960 RSVP by Sept. 3rd, 2022 to: Pete Nicolo 978-815-8234 • PSNicolo2533@comcast.net or Mike Allan 781-953-2279 • Allan7915@gmail.com Make Checks payable to Peter Nicolo and mail to: 13 Bourbon St, Unit 55, Peabody, MA 01960 Invite your friends from other Classes!!!

INSIDE THE PARK: Five football games are planned for Fenway: two on November 22 and three on Thanksgiving Eve, November 23. “We are thrilled to host high school football once again at Fenway Park,” said FSM President Mark Lev in an FSM news release. “Thanksgiving rivalry games are always a highlight of the high school football season and adding the iconic backdrop of Fenway Park will only make the occasion more special for the players, coaches, and fans. We look forward to welcoming the communities and football fans to the park to celebrate this time-honored tradition,” he added. Malden High second-year football Head Coach Witche Exilhomme, who captained the 2011 Malden team to a dominating, 36-0 win over Medford his senior year, said his team is ecstatic over the great news. “It is just a great opportunity for our football program. I am just so excited for our players to have this game on the schedule,” Coach Exilhomme said. “To be able to play a football game at Fenway Park is just something these kids will never forget.” For anyone interested in attending what will be a spectacular event, general admission tickets are $20 each day.

Page 18 THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 2, 2022 avy eniiooravvy S iorn or avvyavy vvy io iori by Jim Miller Daily Check-In Services for Seniors Living Alone Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any services that check in on elderly seniors who live alone? I live about 200 miles from my 82-year-old mother and worry about her falling or getting ill and not being able to call for help. Worrywart Daughter Dear Worrywart, There are actually several diff erent types of check-in services, along with some simple technology devices that can help keep your mom safe at home while providing you some peace of mind. Here are some top options to look into. Check-in app: If your mom uses a smartphone, a great solution to help ensure her safety is Snug (SnugSafe.com), a free app that would check in on her every day to confi rm she’s OK. This app is used by thousands of elderly seniors who live alone and want to make sure that if something happens to them, their loved ones will be notifi ed quickly so they can receive help in minutes, rather than days. Here’s how it works. After downloading the app, your mom will choose what time(s) throughout the day she’d like for Snug to check in. Snug will send a push notifi cation at those times asking your mom to check in by tapping the big green check button on her smartphone screen. If she doesn’t check in within 10 minutes or respond after multiple pings, Snug will notify her emergency contacts and share her last known location so that she can receive fast help. For extra peace of mind, your mom can purchase Snug’s premium plan ($10/month) where in addition to notifying her emergency contacts, Snug will request an in-person wellness check by a police offi cer who will visit her house to confi rm she’s OK and provide assistance as needed. The app works with iPhone and Android smartphones. Check-in calls: If your mom doesn’t use a smartphone, another option to help ensure her safety is a daily check-in call service program. These are telephone reassurance programs usually run by police or sheriff ’s departments in hundreds of counties across the country and are usually provided free of charge. Here’s how they work. A computer automated phone system would call your mom at a designated time each day to check in. If she answers, the system will assume everything is OK. But if she didn’t pick up or if the call goes to voice mail after repeated tries, you (or whoever her designee is) would get a notifi cation call. If you are not reachable, calls are then made to backup people who’ve also agreed to check on your mom if necessary. The fallback is if no one can be reached, the police or other emergency services personnel will be dispatched to her home. To fi nd out if this service is available in your mom’s community, call her local police department’s nonemergency number. You should also check with the Area Agency on Aging in your mom’s area – call 800-677-1116 for contact information. If, however, her community doesn’t have a call check-in program, there are businesses like CARE (Call-Reassurance.com) and IAmFine (Iamfi ne.com) that off er similar services for under $15 per month. Technology devices: You may also want to invest in some simple technology aids to keep your mom safe. One of the most commonly used devices for this is a medical alert system that cost about $1 per day. These systems come with a wearable “help button” that would allow her to call for help 24/7. Another option that’s becoming increasingly popular is smart speakers, like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. These devices work with third-party applications – AskMyBuddy.net and MySOSFamily.com – that would let your mom to call multiple emergency contacts with a simple verbal command. And be sure to check out Amazon’s Alexa Together (Amazon. com/AlexaTogether), a new $20 monthly subscription service that helps families support and keep tabs on their older loved ones who live alone through an Alexa-enabled device.

African Americans and Jewish Americans are typically the two most reliable liberal voting blocks in the country, and yet there have been troubling news stories and now data regarding the people who support them. For example, Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar sparked outrage by doubling down on comments many perceived to be anti-semitic. She is a Democrat who typically gets Democrat votes. Such left-wing hostilities towards Jews have become so bad in the United States that some American Jews are openly considering leaving the country and moving to Israel. Similar diffi culties face African Americans. Ilhan Omar’s controversy arrived barely two months after the racist “Uncle Tim” attacks propagated by liberals at African American Senator Tim Scott. These attacks were so markedly racist that the trend had to be shut down by Twitter. More recently, similarly racist “Uncle Clarence” attacks were levied at Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after he voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. White liberals on Twitter even invoked the “N-word,” and were called out in a remarkable piece by a Columbia University sociology professor. These are the kind of racist behaviors that many associate with conservatives. But to be clear: Those are liberals expressing racist vitriol towards blacks and Jews. And again, blacks and Jews tend to faithfully vote for liberal Democrats. Of course, it is easy to pass off such vitriol as primarily political and not targeted at racial or ethnic groups. And indeed, social psychological research has demonstrated for years that both liberals and conservatives tend to show more biases against racial groups when they think members of those groups disagree with them politically. For example, a well-known study showed that the conservative bias against INVITATION TO BID blacks was essentially because most conservatives believed that blacks tended to be politically liberal. However, when faced with black conservatives, the usual pattern reversed, and liberals—not conservatives— showed a dislike for blacks. Although politically motivated, this does not mean such biases have no societal consequences. After all, these are real ethnic groups and the dislike for them isn’t fi ctitious, no matter its motive. And that should matter. To better understand what is going on, in two recent studies, I and my colleagues tried to parse whether or not liberals and conservatives actually like representative members of these two groups. To do so, we took a trait from each group that is strongly empirically associated with the group in the real world and asked people what they thought about the resulting representative set of group members. So, for African AmerRESEARCH | SEE PAGE 19 CITY OF MALDEN - OFFICE OF THE CONTROLLER - LEGAL NOTICE - The City of Malden invites sealed bids in accordance with M.G.L. c 149 from Contractors for: ROOF REPLACEMENT MALDEN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION BUILDING 110 PLEASANT STREET, MALDEN, MA Contract Documents will be available by email request at purchasing@cityofmalden.org after 9:00 a.m., Wednesday, September 7, 2022.

THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, September 2, 2022 Page 19 RESEARCH | FROM PAGE 6 icans, we asked participants what they thought of “African American women/men who believe in the Bible.” This is a trait highly representative of African Americans: In the modern United States, Pew Data reveal that 77% of African Americans believe that “the Bible is the Word of God.” For Jews, we asked participants how they felt about “Jewish women/men who are strong supporters of the nation of Israel's interests.” This is a trait highly representative of American Jews, with Gallup survey estimates suggesting that 90% of Jews in the United States show support for Israel. So what happens if you ask people about African American and Jewish persons in this way? The data could not be more clear: Many liberals really dislike both African Americans and Jewish persons who possess these highly representative traits; and conservatives like them just fine. That doesn’t mean that all liberals are racist, of course. In fact, our data clearly show that certain types of authoritarian liberals are particularly prone to disliking these groups. And it is worth noting that both of the traits selected and highlighted—being religious and supporting Israel—are traits people associate with conservatives. Both African Americans and Jewish Americans also possess collective traits that, if highlighted, would lead liberals to like them more (and conservatives to like them less). So this finding is likely is more about strong partisan beliefs than about racial or ethnic groups per se. But that doesn’t make it any less meaningful. To understand how important this is, consider that extrapolating from survey data, a cautious estimate of the number of African Americans who believe in the Bible is 30 million persons, and a cautious estimate of the number of Jewish Americans who support Israel is 4 million persons. That is a lot of people—and there is a certain kind of quite pervasive liberal who is inclined to strongly dislike large groups of African Americans and Jewish Americans for those reasons. We should all care deeply about this alarming trend. When conservatives show biases against racial and minority groups, it does not matter why they do it. It is rightly called out for the bigotry and bias that it is. But we must apply an equal standard. When liberals show similar biases, we must—and with equal vigor—call out their bigotry and bias. Evidence from scientific studies reveals that when presented with traits that are representative of what those groups are actually like in reality, many liberals really dislike African Americans and Jews. It doesn’t matter which political aisle the bigot resides in; it is still bigotry all the same. - Dr. Lucian (Luke) Gideon Conway III is a Professor of Psychology and a Fellow with the Institute for Faith & Freedom at Grove City College.
