The New Intolerance of Student Activism
A fight over Halloween costumes at Yale has devolved into an effort to censor dissenting views.
It ought to be disputed rather than indulged for the sake of these students, who need someone to teach them how empowered they are by virtue of their mere enrollment; that no one is capable of invalidating their existence, full stop; that their worth is inherent, not contingent; that everyone is offended by things around...

Canon Andrew White: ‘Vicar of Baghdad’ On Leading A Church In Iraq And Being In The Crosshairs Of Isis
Canon Andrew White has a remarkable faith in human nature, but in the face of so much cruelty, even he believes a line has been crossed
But surely there is only one logical conclusion to be drawn? He sighs, and answers slowly. “You are asking me how we can deal radically with Isis. The only answer is to radically destroy them. I don’t think we can do it by dropping bombs. We have got to bring about real change. It is... Continue Reading
Dante’s Divine Comedy ‘Offensive And Should Be Banned’
It is a world-renowned work of literature and one of the foundation stones of the Italian language, but Dante's Divine Comedy has been condemned as racist, homophobic, anti-Islamist and anti-Semitic.
Schoolchildren and university students who studied the work lacked “the filters” to appreciate its historical context and were being fed a poisonous diet of anti-Semitism and racism, the group said. It called for the Divine Comedy to be removed from schools and universities or at least have its more offensive sections fully explained. The... Continue Reading
Atheist: Okay to Disparage Christians, But Islam Off-Limits Because…
An atheist professor said that it’s acceptable to criticize Christians but not Muslims, because he does not “fear” retaliation from Christians.
“I would say two things,” Zuckerman said. “I know what keeps me from critiquing Islam on my blog is just fear. “I’ve got three kids,” he said. “So I know I can say anything about Christianity or Mormonism, and I’m not living in fear, which is a testament to Christianity and Mormonism, and that’s wonderful....

When Muslim Truck Drivers are Fired for Not Delivering Beer, Court Has an Unbelievable Response
“The Obama administration actually represented the two Muslims in this case. But has sometimes taken a very different position in the case of Christians trying to assert their religious beliefs.”
The U.S government and the courts can’t legally have one set of laws for Christians and another set of laws for Muslims and other religious groups. This court’s ruling throws into relief that not all Americans are legally recognized as possessing religious liberty and freedom of conscience. Two Muslim truck drivers who sued their former employer... Continue Reading
New York Appeals Court Rules Murderer Not Guilty Because Six-Day-Old Baby Isn’t Really a Person
According to New York law a baby isn’t a person until its umbilical cord is cut and it is breathing on its own.
This law essentially says that a human is not a “person” until they pass through the portal of birth, as if the birth canal itself bestows “personhood” on human beings. This is such an arbitrary and silly claim that it makes a mockery of the law not to mention belittles life itself. The idea that... Continue Reading
Feds Rule To Force High School Girls To Undress Next To Naked Boys Who Think They’re Girls
The federal government mandates a Chicago high school to allow a full biological male into the girls’ locker room because he thinks he is a female.
This is what happens when a society loses its moral moorings. In its quest to destroy God, the left unhitched its wagon from eternal truths and, instead, decided to substitute its own idea of utopia. To reach that utopia – freedom from social expectations and standards – objectivity itself had to be destroyed, so as... Continue Reading
Political Correctness Trumps Feminism
Nowhere does politically-correct speech grate more on the nerves of people's sensibilities than in the socially-volatile conflict over sexuality.
A contemporary journalist naively opines: “We are opening up to the idea that classic binary conceptions of gender are unnecessarily rigid.” He fails to see that in this Oneist world a deep identity crisis is arising for our children and their eventual inability to understand the “binary” truth about the God of the Gospel, where...

Judges: Cops Can’t Boot Christians Because Muslims Violent
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the Constitution doesn’t allow police officers to eject Christians from a public area just because Muslims are threatening violence.
“The First Amendment offers sweeping protection that allows all manner of speech to enter the marketplace of ideas. This protection applies to loathsome and unpopular speech with the same force as it does to speech that is celebrated and widely accepted. The protection would be unnecessary if it only served to safeguard the majority views.... Continue Reading
Let’s Be Clear About What Real Christian Persecution Looks Like
What it really means to have your faith "under attack."
“When we start to take on the language of violence—“culture war,” “attacks on values,” “faith under siege”—to describe ideological differences that are actually relatively peaceful in practice, we not only overstate reality. We risk losing perspective on what real persecution looks like.” It’s been an eventful few months in America’s so-called culture wars. In... Continue Reading
