Who is organizing all of these walkouts? No, it's not organic. Should we allow our public schools to be political grooming grounds? We already have. Five years ago, I covered the pernicious California State curriculum that included turning kids into political activists off-campus. It's slowly gotten worse.

The "Defining Circle" When you define something and state what it is, to protect that definition, you must also state what it is not. In his General Conference talk, Elder Andersen held nothing back in declaring that Abortion, except in extreme cases, is wrong. That as a church, we support the sanctity of life. And that as the world loses its love for the unborn, we should stay firm.
