Life is precious. People are indispensable. Each life is a work of art by the Master Designer who knows each page of our story – from beginning to end, before even one page is written . Human life is a miracle , so intricate that science is still uncovering mysteries revealed in DNA, the immune system, and the human eye. Your life as a mom, an elderly grandmother’s beauty and wise influence, and the little one growing in the womb of a young woman or teen. From the giggle of a

All eyes turned to Washington, D.C., last week to watch two consequential cases before the Supreme Court. When the decisions are rendered this summer, they will inform whether states have a right to ban biological boys and men from girls’ and women’s sports. They will decide on women’s safety on sporting fields, their right to privacy in the locker room, and whether women will continue to enjoy the rights afforded to them by Title IX. When the lines of biological reality are

Is common sense making a comeback? You might not think so if you go by the headlines. Like the embarrassing behavior of our California governor at the World Economic Forum, an idiotic mob wreaking havoc in Minnesota to prevent the arrest of a child predator and other criminals. Some officials there seem to hope that the sheer magnitude of the chaos will cover up the billions of taxpayer funds lost to fraud in that state’s widespread corruption. Chaos reigns in Iran, and more

Do you know how to recognize a predator? It can be more difficult than you think. For one thing, we know that they are everywhere: schools, public places, government agencies, even churches. The horrors are so far beyond what any of us can imagine. More than two million people, many of them children, have been enslaved by modern-day sex traffickers. It also happens personally with predators even in our own communities. It’s an ugly topic that has become impossible to ignore.

The whole Valentine's Day thing got off to a really rocky start. It was the day its namesake, a Roman priest, was executed. As we feverishly prepare cards and candy for a daughter's 2 nd grade party, munch conversation hearts, or drop a hundred bucks on roses and candy, it's worth considering that this is the way the world decided to commemorate St. Valentine's death day , decapitated on February 14, around 270 BC. Why St. Valentine? For starters, Rome had a long history of

The dramatic exploitation of empathy is the most lethal weapon currently in the Left’s arsenal. They have learned that playing on feelings is an effective way to gain control over the public. They highlight images of suffering, often skewing or presuming facts not present to stir hearts and change minds. Though this tactic is center stage right now, it’s not new. Democrats, politicians, teachers, and officials, along with a compliant mainstream media, have been manipulating t

Consider school permission slips. I remember these field trip forms sort of wrinkled or bent after being crushed amid the jumble of my child's backpack. Without your signature on that form, there is no way your kid is going to the art museum, the planetarium, or the zoo. It has to be signed, emergency contacts listed, and sometimes even the name of the family doctor. For your child, it is a ticket to a day away from the classroom on a potentially wonderful adventure with clas

Do we really need new ideas to fix America’s schools? In a culture that often drifts away from clear logic and common sense, even the most straightforward solutions can start to sound radical. The time-tested structures grounded in sound judgment and solid data — the ones that consistently deliver results for students — somehow feel unfashionable in today’s debate. So, c an public education be saved? Should it be saved? We would like to think there is hope for the future
