Divided? Or Not So Much?

What possible worldview advocates for a man, dressed like a woman, wearing freakish makeup, and reading a sexually deviant book to third graders?

Inclusivity: The Death Word of the Modern Era

Parents Matter
Earlier this month, the California State Senate passed a bill prohibiting schools from notifying parents if their child wants to use a different name and pronoun at school. The passage of this secrecy bill not only usurps parental rights but also fosters an "us versus them" mentality,

American Heritage Girls: An Alternative to Girl Scouts
Near the end of May, we discussed Boy Scouts and their name change to “Scouting America.” In the article, we excitedly highlighted Trail Life USA as the Christian, conservative alternative to Boy Scouts.

10 Reasons to Oppose High Potency Marijuana Rescheduling
Illinois Family Institute continues to highlight overwhelming evidence of the costs and consequences of legal high-potency marijuana, but too many of us are either dismissing or ignoring the ramifications.

Critics Slam “Racist” Illinois Plan to Fund Colleges Based on Skin Color
Critical Race Theory and systemic racism in education are going to a whole new level in Illinois. In fact, under a proposed new scheme supposedly aimed at fighting alleged “disparities” in higher learning, people with darker complexions (or lower grades) will literally be worth more than those with lighter skin.
