At one of America’s most elite universities, I expected open debate and fearless inquiry. Instead, I found silence—an unspoken rule that Christian thought belongs behind closed doors. This essay exposes how elite campuses celebrate diversity while quietly excluding faith from intellectual life. It’s a call for universities to rediscover real inclusion—where Christian voices aren’t merely tolerated, but respected as essential to understanding truth, human dignity, and the moral foundations of education itself.

For over two decades, gentle parenting reigned—with its soft tones, sticker charts, and fear of saying “no.” The result? A generation of adults who crumble under real-world pressure. As these same individuals now raise kids of their own, a new approach is rising: FAFO Parenting—where actions have consequences and structure matters. It’s not cruelty; it’s common sense. If we want resilient, capable kids, we need to stop coddling and start parenting. Because life won’t hand out participation trophies.
