  • John Money, David Reimer, and the Dark Origins of the Transgender Movement

    John Money, David Reimer, and the Dark Origins of the Transgender Movement3

    The other day I asked my colleagues if they had ever heard of John Money. “No,” they replied, “who is he?” They’re not the only clueless ones. I’ll wager that most millennials don’t know the man who invented the terms “gender identity,” “sexual orientation,” and “gender role.” Unfortunately, the story behind those terms is a

    How Regulated is Your State?0

    Government regulations can be very costly in terms of both time and money. Though we often focus on what this means in terms of federal regulations, the U.S. government isn’t the only entity generating rules that can burden individual Americans and businesses without necessarily providing any positive benefit for them.

    Do Troubles Inside the Catholic Church Mean Trouble for Us All?0

    The Roman Catholic Church, sometimes called the Barque of Peter, is in dire straits these days, buffeted by winds and high waves. These storms and troubles in the Church should be of concern not just to Catholics, but to all Christians, indeed to all who value Western thought and tradition. The Catholic Church is the

    Debunking the Myth of ‘Concealed-Carry Killers’0

    The Violence Policy Center – a gun control advocacy group – released a study last month it wrongly claims shows that “too many concealed-carry permit holders are a direct threat to public safety.”  That claim rests on an analysis of a database documenting “non-self-defense incidents,” which the organization says proves that “allowing random people to carry guns endangers public safety.” On

    Without Free Speech, All Speech Becomes Government Speech0

    When I viewed this video, I wondered if it was a hoax. I thought it must be a group of actors trying to make a point about how far restrictions on speech have gone. Unfortunately, the video captures reality in Scotland in 2019. The video picks up an exchange between a Scottish high school teacher

    The Republic is in crisis. America’s intellectual class is working to discredit our past. The media is waging war against the middle-class values of hard work, religion, and family. In order not to be outdone, Hollywood’s message is more violence, vulgarity, and unbridled hedonism. So, as the ship is starting to list, why would I write

    Parents, Your Kids Are More Flexible Than You Are0

    “I really want to do it. But I think will be so hard!” I said this to a fellow mother a few years ago. We were discussing my desire to move my son’s crib out of my bedroom and into the same room as his older sister. Her reply surprised me. “Maybe it will be

    Paid Family Leave Might Reduce Wages: But Does that Matter?0

    • November 4, 2019

    A new study has just been released that, at first glance, seems to undercut the case for paid parental leave. The study compares outcomes for women who gave birth in California in 2004, just before and just after the state’s Paid Family Leave Act (PFLA) went into effect. According to the authors: We find little evidence
