SkyTree Book Fairs: A Pro-Family Replacement to Scholastic
By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   06.03.24
I remember clearly the highlight Scholastic Book Fairs were during the school year when I was growing up. I personally loved being able to get out of class early to go peruse the books at the fair. I even convinced my mom to buy me a few. Sadly, Scholastic turned down the path of radical ideology a while ago, and these days, they continue pushing anti-family, anti-God messaging.
The Incredible Shrinking Me
By Rev. Thorin Anderson   |   05.31.24

Several years ago, I made a trip to a popular museum in the Seattle area and toured the various exhibits on display.

Visitors were instructed to write down their opinion of what the biggest problem in the world was.

On April 1, 2023 (making many wonder if it was an April Fool’s joke), popular transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney shared a sponsored post in partnership with Bud Light with nods to March Madness and his continuing personal documentary, “365 Days of Girlhood.” In June of 2023, Target released its highly controversial Pride merchandise line, including “tuck-friendly” swimsuits for transgender “women” (biological men).

Memorial Day arrives May 27th. Once again, we must suffer the unintentional wince-inducing greeting from many who will utter, “Happy Memorial Day.” Not appropriate.

By Alyssa Sonnenburg   |   05.24.24

By David E. Smith   |   05.24.24
