THE (POTENTIALLY) BRIGHT FUTURE OF PRO-FAMILY MOVEMENT

Commentary by Scott Lively

What we call the pro-family movement is a component of the larger conservative movement and deals with matters of sexuality and the natural family.

I don’t worry about offending people. President Trump leads by example. It’s OK to be crude to make a point.

PROTECTING THE OPEN MIND

Commentary by The Washington Times

In his 1987 best-seller “The Closing of the American Mind,” the late Allan Bloom lamented “how higher education had failed democracy and impoverished the souls of today’s students.” It’s worse now, thanks in no small part to militant left-wing students who, not content to close their own minds, insist on the right to close the minds of others.
