LDS Leader's Apology for Racist Remarks is Lacking

Last week, while I was on vacation, a Utah reader emailed me to express her disappointment and frustration with a fireside that Brad Wilcox, a counselor in the Young Men general presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had just given for youths in her area. She wasn't alone in this response. Thousands have expressed concern, including administrators at Brigham Young University, where Wilcox is a religion professor. This outcry resulted in his apology on social media the night after his talk and a second apology three days ago at another youth fireside.
