Beware the Beautiful Lie

“Do not go gentle into that good night. Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” – Dylan Thomas   It looks like any other summer morning, where children climb onto buses, memorize songs, study maps, and learn stories about who they are and where […]

A Trophy Worthy of Recognition

Bigot. Transphobe. Ageist. Xenophobe. Sexist. White Supremacist.  These are just a few of the names I was called while competing in collegiate forensics tournaments.

Less Activism, More Art: When Award Shows Forget Their Purpose

Recent entertainment award shows, particularly the Grammys, have shifted their focus away from honoring artistic achievement and toward political messaging.

Holding Biblical Truth in Tension: A Christian Case for Respecting ICE

As I stood face to face with the southern wall at Whiskey 8, a former open-air detention site in San Diego, I was met with a myriad of emotions. I felt a strange juxtaposition of gratitude, pride, and pain. The border is an extremely complex issue, and today, a very salient one as well. The […]

Young Women Speak Up for Women’s Sports

There is definitive scientific proof that males and females are biologically different.

School Choice From the Perspective of a Private-School Educator

School Choice is the right of a child’s legal guardian to place their student in a private, public, charter, or homeschool environment. This protects the guardian’s right to have their student educated in accordance with their needs, values, or family preferences. However, the issue for most Americans usually comes down to finances. When comparing the […]

From the Field to the Highest Court
