If you see Jeff Hunt, director of Colorado Christian University’s public policy think tank, the Centennial Institute, out and about, there’s a good chance you’ll see him wearing his “Pro-Life U” sweatshirt.

“I wear it everywhere,” he told me on Wednesday morning. “I wear it to conferences, I wear it on airplanes, I wear it to stores.”

That’s because Colorado Christian University, a private faith-based school that traces its roots back to 1914 when it was known as the “Denver Bible College,” recently registered the trademark “Pro-Life U” moniker.

“College of the Ozarks is also known as ‘Hard Work U,’” says Hunt, “and in that same spirit, we have a commitment to making CCU the most pro-life college in the nation.”

History and trademark registrations were of little interest or concern to officials at the Denver Capitol earlier this week, though, when Hunt was kicked out of the Senate Gallery for wearing clothing that allegedly violated Colorado Senate rules. In Denver for “Pregnancy Resource Center Day at the Capitol,” Hunt was attending discussion on SB23-190, a wicked pro-abortion bill that would restrict and censor the good work pregnancy resource centers provide in their communities. Specifically, it would ban the abortion pill reversal treatment for women who have changed their minds after beginning a chemical abortion.

Vandals have attacked more than 300 Catholic churches across the country since May 2020, reports the non-profit advocacy group, CatholicVote.org.

The group says, “The attacks have included acts of arson, some of which forced churches to close for repairs. Three historic churches were burned to the ground.”

In addition, CatholicVote has tracked assaults on pregnancy resource centers and pro-life groups for the past 10 months. There have been 82 attacks on these groups since May 2022, when a draft of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to the press.

Attacks on churches also increased since that leak, with “a new spate of 141 attacks” occurring after the early draft was made public.

The group, which advocates for faith, family and freedom, reports:

“The pregnancy resource centers, which provide free medical and financial support to pregnant and new mothers, have been victimized by arson and firebombing; smashed windows; graffiti with threatening messages; destruction of signage; gluing of locks to prevent staff from entering; keying of staff members’ cars; and other acts of violence and vandalism. In at least one case, the home of a board member of a pregnancy resource center was attacked. Other pro-life groups which advocate for the right to life have been subject to the same attacks.”

With several bracket-busting upsets in week one of the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, fans of the annual March Madness festivities might be looking for someone new to root for and cheer on.

Look no further than Jerome Tang, head coach of the Kansas State Wildcats. In his first year on the Manhattan campus, the coach has exceeded all expectations.  But most importantly, Coach Tang prioritizes his faith in Jesus Christ above all other endeavors.

Incidentally, K-State (23-9) tips off against Montana State (25-9) tonight in Greensboro, North Carolina. It’s the Wildcats first March Madness appearance in four years.

At 55 years of age, Jerome Tang arrived last year from Baylor University, where he served as a long-time assistant coach beginning in 2003. Tang’s longevity and success at the Waco, Texas school was largely attributed to his basketball prowess, of course, but also his fitting into the Christian school’s “JOY” culture — an acronym that stands for “Jesus, Others, Yourself.”

A native of Trinidad, West Indies, the coach first lived in St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and he now lists “Lover of Jesus” first in his Twitter bio.

“My faith is extremely important to me,” Tang has said. “That’s what I live my life by. I believe that God put me on this earth to be a servant leader, and I just want to be of service in any way I can to serve our players, to serve my staff, to serve our community and our university.”
