“Idaho schools instructed to keep parents in dark about student’s gender, name transitions”…
“Idaho public school districts are being told to adopt policies preventing employees from disclosing a student’s name and gender transitions to parents unless first obtaining the student’s consent, Fox News Digital has learned.

“‘Zombie Studies’: DeSantis Declares All-Out War on University DEI, CRT in Education Manifesto”…
“Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) last Tuesday rolled out a new education agenda designed to comprehensively recapture the state’s higher education system from woke ideologues. Instead, he set forth a conservative vision for a higher education system: “to focus on promoting academic excellence, the pursuit of truth, and to give students the foundation so they can think for themselves.” The proposals affect curriculum, faculty, funding, and more.” – Washington Stand
“Three reasons going to church lowers “deaths of despair'”…
“Some evolutionists aren’t surprised. According to author Christopher Kukk, biologists from Charles Darwin to E. O. Wilson believe that “cooperation has been more important than competition in humanity’s evolutionary success.” Kukk adds, “Compassion is the reason for both the human race’s survival and its ability to continue to thrive as a species.”
You don’t have to be an evolutionist to agree that God made us for compassionate community. This exhortation is just one biblical example: “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near” (Hebrews 10:24–25).” – Denison Forum

This is the 27-year-old’s second MVP award. He previously won the honor in 2018. Mahomes was the the clear cut winner, receiving 48 of the 50 first place votes, beating out fellow quarterbacks Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles), Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills), and Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals).” – Church Leaders

“A Christian campaign called “He Gets Us” aired two commercials about their favorite dude during the Super Bowl Sunday night. The ads’ reported $20 million price tag, as well as their ties to Hobby Lobby founder and billionaire David Green, among others, is sparking backlash online. Those behind “He Gets Us” told Christianity Today in March 2022 that they were putting $100 million toward the campaign’s national launch.

“South Dakota governor signs bill prohibiting gender-affirming treatment for transgender minors”…
“South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem on Monday signed a bill into law that will ban both surgical and non-surgical gender-affirming treatments for transgender minors in the state.

Her work there eventually led to a job at the transgender center of the children’s hospital.” – Fox News
