Dear Colleague,

U.S. Promotion Of Abortion Abroad Is Ideological Colonialism, Not Gender Equality <[link removed]>
1945
Grace Melton, Senior Associate, DeVos Center
Joy Mdivo, Executive Directoy, East Africa Centre for Law and Justice
Denunciations of the West’s colonial history in Africa are common these days, along with criticisms of how a dominant culture was imposed on a less powerful society. Yet we hear little about how Western forces are currently reshaping Africa’s culture through economic and political pressure. Though political imperialism has ended, the United Nations, Western donor nations, multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations are ideologically colonizing other parts of the world with progressive sexual values.
 
Is Gender Wokeism the New Religion of the West? <[link removed]>

Bernard Randall, Former Chaplain, Christ’s College Cambridge
Conservatives from the U.S. and U.K. have long reacted with alarm at the culture wars being waged on both sides of the Atlantic. The high priests of wokeism have weaponized laws to punish teachers, professors and doctors who would not utter support for the idea of human sex change. With both public and private schools adopting the tenets of woke gender ideology in curriculum and policies parents, teachers and pupils have few places to turn.

VIRTUAL EVENT: Policy Pulse: How Gender Ideology Undermines Title IX <[link removed]>
The Heritage Foundation
Emilie Kao, Former Director, DeVos Center
Sarah Parshall Perry, Legal Fellow, The Heritage Foundation
In 1972, Congress passed Title IX of the Education Amendments, heralding a new age of equal opportunities for females in academics and athletics. After five decades of progress for women in education, Title IX’s legacy is endangered by a new gender ideology that makes being female a matter of self-identification rather than biological reality.
