Christian University Sues School District for Rejecting Student Teachers — Because of Their Commitment to Christ and Beliefs About Marriage

By: Jeff Johnston


Attorneys from Alliance Defending Freedom filed a religious discrimination lawsuit against Washington Elementary School District on behalf of Arizona Christian University “for cutting ties with the university because of its religious beliefs.”

ADF explains that for 11 years, students from ACU’s elementary education program were placed in classrooms in the district to fulfill their student teaching requirements.

But in a unanimous vote on February 23, the five WESD governing members voted not to renew its partnership with ACU, citing the university’s core commitments to Jesus Christ and to a biblical view of marriage.

Sadly, in a contentious March 9 school board meeting two weeks after that vote, board member Kyle Clayton said he and other board members had received many threatening and “vile, homophobic and explicit” emails.

Even Leftist Rainn Wilson Admits There is ‘Anti-Christian’ Bias in Hollywood



By: Zachary Mettler





If you ask most Christians whether there is an “anti-Christian” bias in Hollywood, they’ll probably look like you asked whether 2 + 2 = 4. “Uh … duh,” they may reply. And yet, it’s a rare day when someone on the left admits as much.

But recently, actor Rainn Wilson — who is politically on the left — said that he does believe there is “anti-Christian” bias in Hollywood. Wilson is best known for his thrice Emmy Award-winning performance as Dwight Schrute in the NBC sitcom The Office.

“I do think there is an anti-Christian bias in Hollywood,” Wilson tweeted on March 11. “As soon as the David character in ‘The Last of Us’ started reading from the Bible I knew that he was going to be a horrific villain.”

According to the Daily Wire, “The former star of ‘The Office’ made the comment regarding the penultimate episode of ‘The Last of Us’ on HBO Max. In episode 8, ‘When We Are In Need,’ the show’s main character Ellie encounters a group of survivors led by a cult-leading cannibal who keeps quoting the Bible.”

Wilson’s prediction turned out to be true, as the character who reads the Bible — David — attempts to rape someone at the end of the episode. Wilson is a member of the Bahá’í faith — a relatively new religion, founded in the 19th century by Baháʼu’lláh. It teaches that all religions are essential true, and that various historical religious figures, like Abraham, Jesus and Mohammad, gave progressive revelation from a single god.

Canadian Teen Suspended From Christian School for Saying There are Two Sexes, Later Arrested



By: Daily Citizen Staff





Josh Alexander, an 11th grader at St. Joseph Catholic High School in Renfrew, Ontario, has found himself in hot water with his school and local authorities, so much so that his family had to hire a lawyer. It all started because he believes humans are male and female and spoke this belief out loud in a class discussion. His views are clearly in accordance with his own school’s teaching, but the principal suspended him for 20 days.

He harmed no one. He threatened no one. He simply said what he believes. So how did things go so wrong? Because wokeness has won out in Canada.

The mild-mannered 16-year-old simply shared his views in a classroom discussion that male and female are the only two sexes, men cannot become women, and girls have a right to use their own restroom without biological males intruding. Female students at his school were concerned about having to share their restroom with boys.

Speaking these beliefs, and standing up for these girls, got the Baptist student suspended from this Catholic school, even though the Catechism of the Catholic Church, in Paragraph 355, quotes Genesis 1:27: “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.” The National Post, Canada’s largest newspaper, reported on Feb. 8, 2023, that Alexander “was arrested by police Monday afternoon for breaching an exclusion order, but the real crime that the student is being punished for is upholding his [Christian] beliefs.”

Many Families Near ‘Breaking Point’ as Credit Card Debt Hits All Time High




By: Zachary Mettler





Credit card debt has hit a dramatic new all-time high, as many American families are getting close to a financial “breaking point.”

Total credit card debt hit a record $930.6 billion at the end of 2022, according to CNBC, with the average balance per credit card hitting $5,805.

According to Jill Gonzalez, an analyst at WalletHub, credit card debt is close to reaching a level that will become “unsustainable” for most individuals.

“It’s when people won’t be able to keep up with their bills,” she said. “We’re inching closer and closer to that breaking point.”

However, it’s not only credit card debt that is keeping many Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck. There are various other forms of debt, including student loan debt, automotive loan debt and “other” forms, like retail cards and other consumer loans.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, Americans also had the following amounts in debt:

- $1.6 trillion in student loan debt.
- $1.55 trillion in automotive loans.
- $510 billion in “other” debt.
All told, Americans currently owe more than $4.65 trillion in non-housing debt. However, if you add in housing debt — mortgage balances — which add up to $11.92 trillion, Americans’ total household debt currently stands at $16.90 trillion.

Jane Fonda, Violent Protestors, and the War on Life



By: Paul Batura






My late Irish mother was a great repository of maxims and sayings of various kinds, always served up in a timely fashion — and often delivered with the intent to shape, guide and sometimes gently chastise us kids in a pointed and instructive manner.

Sarcasm was one of her pet peeves. She didn’t like it and considered its use to be something of a cheap and passive aggressive ploy. Our defense was always the same: “We’re just kidding!” we’d say, to which she’d always reply: “Many a truth is spoken in jest.”

My mother’s wise observation (a borrowed aphorism) came to mind in light of Jane Fonda’s eyebrow-raising comments last week on The View, the daytime talk show that regularly features leftist screeds of various kinds.

“We have experienced many decades now of having agency over our body, of being able to determine when and how many children to have. We know what that feels like, we know what that’s done for our lives,” Jane Fonda said last week. “We’re not going back, I don’t care what the laws are. We’re not going back.”

Fellow abortion activist Joy Behar then asked what could be done “besides marching and protesting.” Jane Fonda replied, “Well, I’ve thought of murder.”

Laughter erupted on the set, though Behar immediately jumped in, assuring viewers that Fonda was “just kidding.” Fonda glared menacingly, eliciting more laughter, and communicating that maybe she wasn’t really jesting at all.
