By Jonathon Van Maren Your latest cultural update is here—the good, the bad, and the ugly. *** I wonder what it will take for people to get fed up with the relentless sexualization of children. Drag Queen Storytime is bad enough, but this report from LifeSiteNews—that shows children laying on top of drag queens—is absolutely…
By Jonathon Van Maren Late last year, Dr. Jordan Peterson sat down with the Scottish Catholic Observer for a wide-ranging discussion on the culture wars raging across the West. When the interviewer brought up the censorship increasingly inflicted on pro-life groups in Europe, Peterson was unequivocal: “That’s just beyond belief to me, whether you are…
By Jonathon Van Maren In Chapter 2 of my 2016 book The Culture War, I examined the pandemic of sexually transmitted diseases that is currently sweeping North America—albeit unnoticed and unremarked on by most: The STD epidemic makes headlines occasionally, but not often—and certainly not in proportion to the prevalence of these diseases or the…
