One of the many delightful surprises coming in from newly phone-free schools: Kids check out many more books from the library!
Phone bans in schools motivate kids to read. When a Kentucky district eliminated phones, students checked out 2.3x as many books from the library. At one school, twice as many students borrowed books in the first month as all of last year. Without smartphones, kids get smarter.

Sinners tend to respond sinfully to being sinned against, that’s why if you’re patient, kind and forgiving, in the face of other’s sin, you know that grace has visited you.
Coalescing a community around an anti-vision never works in the long run. The initial rush of excitement over finding others to share in your hurts and hatred is fools gold. But beware- that energy inevitably leads to an implosion of the community. It will never work.

In 1990, the Progressive Policy Institute found that when controlling for marriage and fatherhood, racial disparities in poverty and crime vanish. Kids from married families, regardless of race and income, rarely become criminals. This data was largely overlooked for solutions.
Yeah, so trying to debate Lila Rose on abortion is a fool’s errand. . .
Abortion is never medically necessary. Complications can arise during pregnancy that require the baby to be delivered early. But this doesn't require the extra step of injecting poison into the child's heart or dismembering the child limb from limb. @LilaGraceRose shares this…
Fun fact, @ProfStonebraker & I were friends at Cambridge, when she was a convinced atheist. She was there at the dinner when my now husband & I first had a proper conversation. The fact that Jesus claimed her for his own a few years later has brought both me & Bryan so much joy!
How new atheism led historian @ProfStonebraker to Christian faith. Sarah was enjoying a successful academic career at Cambridge and Oxford. Surprisingly, it was a lecture by atheist ethicist @PeterSinger that first jolted her out of non-belief. Watch her tell me the story in…
