Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science to Merge with Center for Inquiry
The Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science and the Center for Inquiry, two of the world’s most respected freethought institutions, have announced their intent to merge. The new organization, which will be the largest secularist organization in the United States, will bear the name of the Center for Inquiry (CFI), with the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason & Science (RDFRS) becoming a division of CFI.
Robyn Blumner, currently president & CEO of RDFRS, will become CEO of the combined entity on January 25. Ronald A. Lindsay, currently president & CEO of CFI, will retain the title of president until the merger is complete, and will work closely with Blumner during the transition period. Previous to leading RDFRS, Blumner was a syndicated columnist for the Tampa Bay Times and led two statewide affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union.
Richard Dawkins, founder and chair of RDFRS, will become a member of the CFI board of directors along with the other directors of RDFRS once the merger is complete.

Probably a good idea since Dawkins clearly has problems running his own foundation. Wonder what LP makes of this

"freethought institutions" 
I don't remember much free thought with their long list of those that may not be critisized

A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

I am sure everyone is excited about these changes.

It will make the evacuation of atheists from the coming US theocracy Trumpocracy easier. Someone needs to think ahead here...

Re: Richard Dawkins Foundation to Merge with Center For Enqu
Not sure what to make of this though it did upset freethoughtblogs and the Skepchicks so it can't be all bad.
We should be MOST skeptical of ideas we like because we are sufficiently skeptical of ideas that we don't like. Penn Jillette.
