** THE GREATEST EDUCATION BATTLE OF OUR LIFETIMES ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
“All around us, the culture war has broken the bounds of the university and spilled into our day-to-day lives,” writes EPPC Senior Fellow Stanley Kurtz ([link removed]) for National Review Online. “The Democrats in Congress, in league with the Biden administration and the leftist Action Civics movement, are about to supercharge this culture war by injecting it into the heart of federal education policy.”
And, in another piece for NRO, Mr. Kurtz explains ([link removed]) that “whether it’s called ‘action civics,’ ‘civic engagement,’ or ‘project-based civics,’ the real goal of the new ‘civics’ is to get students protesting and lobbying for leftist political goals on school time, and now on the federal dime.”

------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Postdoctoral Fellow Nathanael Blake
The Federalist
------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of a populace with a developed understanding of sin, and a prudent sense of what to punish and what to tolerate, we now have personal and social moral instability. Read More ([link removed])

** XAVIER BECERRA IS A POOR CHOICE FOR HHS SECRETARY
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Cardinal Francis George Fellow Mary FioRito
Chicago Tribune
------------------------------------------------------------
For many active Christians and Catholics, and others of goodwill who respect the free exercise of religion and religious beliefs, Xavier Becerra’s nomination indicates that Joe Biden’s aspiration to unify a divided country was simply empty rhetoric. Read More ([link removed])

** BIDEN IS SENDING THE WRONG SIGNALS ON THE BORDER
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
Trump-era crackdowns slowed illegal migration because people reasonably concluded that they had less chance of remaining in the country.
