Heritage Calls on States to Increase Transparency, End Critical Race Theory Influence in Schools – "The principles laid out in this letter represent a roadmap for concerned parents and grassroots activists to use to urge their legislators to root out critical race theory,” said Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action. “Activists nationwide are fighting for transparency, accountability, and equality in their schools, and these recommendations will equip them with the most effective tools to advocate for policies to stop racist CRT teachings.” Heritage Expert: Jonathan Butcher

High Court Hears Arguments in Biggest Abortion Case Since Roe. Here Are Key Takeaways. – Sotomayor asked a question about the current case that actually applies best to Roe and Casey: How can the Supreme Court “survive the stench that this creates in the public perception that the Constitution and its reading are just acts”? The answer is, how can the high court survive without overruling Roe and Casey—decisions that divined a constitutional right to abortion very nearly out of thin air? The court must correct its grave constitutional error and overrule Roe and Casey so that Americans can govern themselves on matters of abortion. Heritage Experts: Sarah Perry and Thomas Jipping

Dispelling 3 Common Myths About Abortion – The facts indicate that abortions are not safe for unborn children and carry significant risks for the mothers who receive them. Most abortions are not done for cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. Lastly, most Americans do not support radically permissive abortion policies. In fact, most Americans support policies that further protect unborn children than what is currently permitted under Roe v. Wade, which allows for elective abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. We are being presented with the greatest opportunity of our lifetime to turn the tide for life. We must tell the truth about abortion and not allow pro-abortion arguments to rule the day unopposed. Heritage Expert: Melanie Israel

Taxing Wealth Is Sure-Fire Way to End Up With Less Wealthy Society – Taxing the wealth of the millionaires and billionaires may seem like a good idea, but it has serious unintended consequences. A progressive wealth tax will destroy the incentive to take risks and innovate. If we want to continue to be a society that innovates—and that benefits from the good jobs that come with that—policymakers must push back against attempts to punish success and investments in the future.
