With skyrocketing debt, woke indoctrination, and degrees that often don’t pay off, nearly 1 in 4 Gen Z grads say college was a mistake. Once bastions of Christian truth, most universities now promote the very ideologies they were founded to resist. What happened?

For the first time in decades, the Court has affirmed that parents have a constitutional right to shield their children from instruction that contradicts their religious beliefs—without needing to prove coercion.

Football fans come to know, and often despise, the term “interference.” It usually results in a penalty against the defensive or even the offensive player preventing a pass from being completed. The Chicago Bears have seen their share of these—and our Illinois college teams as well. 

Some Illinois lawmakers want to regulate homeschooling through HB 2827, a bill that would mandate registration and give state bureaucrats significant new powers.

There has been an intentional effort underway for several decades to bring down the West. The effort is not an open, direct attack. Rather, it involves eroding the foundations of our culture, eating away at the supports, and corroding the superstructure. The attack is indirect.
