Ganahl: On Mother’s Day, we pause to honor women who make a difference every day

Today, kids across the country made handmade cards, cooked up a breakfast in bed and tried to tiptoe around the house to let their precious mommas get a bit more sleep. It’s the day of the year we celebrate the hard-working, loving, ever-giving matriarch of the family: Mother’s Day!

Basile: ‘Woke’ Scouts and the death of another American institution

Another week, another headline that has millions wondering what has happened to the America of our youth. “Woke” social engineering by the far left appears to have claimed another victim: the Boy Scouts of America. The organization that had molded millions of boys into leaders who valued nature, personal responsibility and hard work has announced it will rebrand itself as “Scouting America,” removing the word “boy” from its name. It’s a wonder they didn’t remove America too.

Brauchler: How best to protect our children in school

In a more perfect world, we would not know the name Kendrick Castillo. In a more perfect world, the only son of John and Maria Castillo would be starting a career in robotics after graduating college, driving his jeep all over, attending church with his parents, maybe spending time with someone he met and was sweet on, and generally living the promising life of a man in his early 20s.

Copeland: How to stop wrecking our country

Let’s be realistic. Undoing the malign influence of Marxist ideology and anti-Semitism in our schools is going to take a very long time. Our elementary age children are being educated to be activists for progressive causes. It will take a massive effort to build a whole generation of teachers in K-12 and universities who will teach the truth and America’s founding principles.

Gaines: Why on Earth was Colorado’s AG at a groundbreaking for a Cargill Housing Development?

I read the Fort Morgan Times article (linked) after seeing our AG Phil Weiser tweet about how meaningful it was for him to be out for the groundbreaking of a new housing development sponsored by Cargill and meant to help provide affordable housing to their employees.

Sloan: The Roots of Disorder

The disruptions on university campuses around the world continue, to the point that on many colleges actual conduct of educational activity is something available only to the most resourceful. We know the cause of the day that serves as the catalyst for the disorder; support for Hamas and implicitly – and often explicitly – antisemitic hatred for Israel. That, of course, is merely symptomatic; the real hatred is broader, and more generally revolutionary – a hatred for Western Civilization and all of the manners, morals, and customs that accompany it.

Smrz: Thirty-seven 1st Amendment advocates denied a voice at Colorado Capitol 

On May 1, 2024, The House Education Committee hearing for Colorado Senate Bill 24-158 proceeded without hearing from any of the 37 opponents registered to provide testimony against the bill. Capital insiders were struck by the one-sided monopolization of the hearing, where only testimony in support of the legislation was permitted. This raises concerns about legislative protocol and stakeholder engagement.

Walcher: We can govern ourselves, something our current regulators apparently no longer believe

There is a famous story about Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman walking down the street with a friend. The friend stopped and said, “Hey, there is a $20 bill on the sidewalk.” The economist turned to him and replied, “There can’t be. If there were a $20 bill on the sidewalk, somebody would have picked it up.”
