Hunter: Faith-driven schools are proving that clarity and character create safe campuses

In the face of rising cultural concerns over student safety and institutional trust, a quiet but significant shift in Colorado’s educational landscape is rooted in moral conviction, sustained by ethical character, and bearing fruit in meaningful outcomes.

Joondeph: “Trust me, I’m a doctor” doesn’t mean what it used to

“Trust me, I’m a doctor” is a humorous expression that suggests one’s opinion should be accepted without question, regardless of whether the person offering the opinion has actual medical expertise or experience.
