  Week in Review  
  America Has Always Been Politically Divided  
 

Written by Pat Hickey
Party-line, lock-step, propaganda-swallowing Americans have been with us always. New York Loyalists wanted nothing to do with the Sons of Liberty, and now Deplorables and the Resistance spit at one another.

Can't we all get along?  Nope. Never have.

  English and Math Proficiency Takes a Back Seat to LGBTQ Propaganda  
  Written by John Biver
Here was the headline: "Only 33 Percent of Students Proficient in English, Math."  Last month, IFI's Laurie Higgins wrote: "Devilish Details in School Sexuality-Indoctrination Bill." And in a recent IFA Spotlight podcast, Higgins discussed the Illinois state senate's approval of the bill mandating the teaching of "Leftist assumptions about deviant sexuality" in government-run schools. It also requires that eighth grade children will have to be tested on them "in order to move on to high school."
 
  National Review Online Demagogue Taunts Conservatives  
  Written by Laurie Higgins
There's a troubling piece titled "Time for a Compromise on Transgenderism" posted on National Review online and written by purportedly conservative, "gay vegetarian"  J. J. McCullough. In condescending language, McCullough argues that it's time for Americans to hop on the fast train to the Shangri-La of polymorphous perversity. In McCullough's view, now that Americans have ceased "judging" homosexuality, they should cease "judging" the science-denying "trans" ideology.
 
  Anti-Life Groups Pushing the Equal Rights Amendment on Illinois  
  Written by Monte Larrick
The Illinois Constitution already guarantees equal protection regardless of sex. But, that's not stopping Planned Parenthood and other anti-life organizations from trying to make Illinois the 37th state of the 38 needed to add the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Meantime, pro-life groups are warning lawmakers that they will pay a price at the ballot box if they vote for the ERA.
 
  Torching Marriage  
  Written by Laurie Higgins
Let's try a little thought experiment. Let's imagine that now, after legally recognizing intrinsically non-marital same-sex unions as "marriages," we notice that there remains a unique type of relationship that is identified by the following features: it is composed of two people of major age who are not closely related by blood, are of opposite sexes, and engage in the only kind of sexual act that is naturally procreative. We decide that as language-users there must be a term to identify this particular, commonplace, and cross-cultural type of relationship. Let's call it "huwelijk."
 
  Which Is the Smallest and Most Rejected Minority in America?  
 

Written by Dr. Michael L. Brown
How would you answer this question? Which group is the smallest, most rejected minority in our country? African Americans have certainly suffered terribly through our history. But they are not the smallest minority today, making up roughly 12 percent of the population. And, despite ongoing issues they face, African Americans are certainly not the most rejected.
