(Washington Stand) A recent trend on college campuses is to install “safe spaces,” places where students — or certain identity-group subsets of students — can go to feel safe. These safe spaces are exclusionary by design; they protect students by insulating them. In extreme cases, safe spaces have been deemed to cover entire campuses, leading to the exclusion or disinvitation of undesirable visitors.

This “safe space” trend has been rightly ridiculed for its tendency to protect college students’ feelings from exposure to opposing viewpoints. Such exposure serves to sharpen the mind and used to be college’s main virtue.

(The Federalist) The Biden administration’s Department of Education unveiled a sweeping set of rules on Friday that effectively erase protections for sex-based spaces by expanding the Title IX prohibition against sex discrimination to include “gender identity” — a term that’s never mentioned in the original law.

A majority of Americans agree that males who claim to identify otherwise should not be allowed to infiltrate girls’ and women’s sports teams. As of now, some 25 states have laws or regulations aimed at keeping boys and men out of female-only spaces, on and off the field

(Faith & Freedom) What's left of the United Methodist Church has chosen its first African American woman president, and she's expected to help officially usher in the Leftist's long-awaited amendments to the Book of Discipline.

The church that John Wesley founded has become confused and has lost its way in the darkness of our times.

They have rejected the "straight gate" Jesus spoke of and embraced the "wide" and "broad" ways that lead to destruction.

(Life News) Idaho officials fought at the Supreme Court today to protect babies from abortion, uphold its pro-life state law and to stop Joe Biden from turning Idaho emergency rooms into abortion centers.

As LifeNews.com reported previously, the Supreme Court ruled in January that Joe Biden can’t force Idaho to turn its emergency rooms into abortion centers. The nation’s highest court ruled that Joe Biden can’t exploit a federal law to try to weaken Idaho’s abortion ban by allowing emergency room doctors to do abortions.

But that decision was a temporary victory and Idaho oficials are fighting in court to win the entire case, Idaho v United States.

(PJ Media) An Imperial Japanese diplomat in Nazi Germany before the war was supposed to have written back to Tokyo lamenting that Japan had nothing like the Jews. Totalitarian regimes are at their best when they have a readily identifiable minority to persecute and, most importantly, to scapegoat.

"It's crazy," TwitterX user Justine wrote about the American Left, "how they went from 'punch a Nazi' to 'eradicate the Jews' in just 4 years." It isn't crazy at all once you realize that violence is the point. Justine was replying to this video, in which American college students can be heard chanting "Hamas make us proud" and "Burn Tel Aviv to the ground."

(Washington Stand) Are left-leaning parents better at passing on their values to their children? The results of one recent study seem to indicate that they are, especially for their daughters. But there’s a better explanation, one articulated millennia ago by God’s Word.

According to a 2023 poll by the Survey Center on American Life, 62% of U.S. adults raised by Democratic parents were Democrats, while 57% of U.S. adults raised by Republican parents were Republican. The overall partisan gap is substantial, but not huge; however, it grows much larger among women aged 18-29. Among the youngest group of U.S. adults, 69% of men and 73% of women raised by Democrats are Democrats, while 67% of men and only 44% of women raised by Republicans are Republicans.

(Life News) Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just released a new policy platform on abortion titled, “More Choices, More Life.”

“Abortion is one of the most divisive issues in American politics,” states Kennedy’s official campaign webpage on abortion. “We’ve been offered two positions — pro-life and pro-choice — with hardly any room between or outside them.”

Kennedy’s campaign claims that his proposed abortion policy “will dramatically reduce abortion in this country, and it will do so by offering more choices for women and families, not less.”
