Speech Righter: Trump Tackles College Censorship
Going to college is tough for any teenager. But for conservatives, it can be downright dangerous. These days, parents are sending their kids off to six-figure war zones, where even moderate speakers need armies of protection -- if they're allowed to speak at all. Christians brave enough to talk about their views are stigmatized if they're lucky, and physically attacked if they're not. We've wiped campuses clean of so many words, ideas, and values that an entire generation is leaving college completely unprepared for the cruel world from which higher education is "sparing" them. Like a lot of parents, Donald Trump is fed up. College campuses are so toxically liberal today that conservatives have gotten everything from death threats to docked grades. We've watched Christians like Isabella ... (more)

by Patrina Mosley

Patrina Mosley is the Director of Life, Culture and Women's Advocacy at Family Research Council. This article appeared in The Daily Caller on March 21, 2019. For the last eight years, world calendars have set aside March 21 to acknowledge that those with disabilities matter and are valuable members of society. World Down Syndrome Day reminds us that disabled does not mean disposable. Disabled may just mean a less comfortable life. Discomfort does not prevent a person from living a full and rewarding life.

Consider that if the “deplorables” from 2016 become the “indecents” in 2020, not ... (more)
