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.

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.

Barnhart: Abortion doesn’t belong in Colorado’s Constitution

Healthcare should be about helping people find health. Reproductive healthcare should preserve a woman’s ability to have children. And the right to live is the most basic right for all of us who have everything that makes us human and alive from the moment we are conceived within the protective sphere of our mother.
