You are forgiven if you missed the most important story of the week given the political pyrotechnics culminating in President Donald Trump's welcome disavowal of the nativist chant "Send her back." Trump will wisely smother such outbursts at rallies, but expect provocateurs to try to get it started again and again. It's a deeply offensive and un-American echo of the "Know-Nothings" of the 19th century, whose fury was directed at Roman Catholics.
There is a tie, though, between the Know-Nothings of long ago and another significant story of the week: the State Department’s second annual Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom, which brought more than 1,000 delegates from 100 countries together in Washington.
