Finding Hope: Protecting Religious Freedom In Prison
“Prison is a hopeless place.” That’s how one former inmate describes it. What can give hope? The freedom to practice one’s faith, even behind bars and barbed wire. In October, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Holt v. Hobbs, which involves the following: Abdul Muhammad, an Arkansas inmate, has been denied the ability to grow the ½ inch beard his Muslim mands—even though Arkansas already allows inmates to grow beards for medical reasons, and Mr. Muhammad’s beard would...
Right-to-Work Legislation Showing Solid Gains
It may not be the silver bullet for every financial challenge facing states at the present, but those states adopting right-to-work (RTW) legislation are ing petitive. In your writer’s native Michigan, for example, RTW was signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in December 2012, and the results have been impressive. The American Legislative Exchange Council’s recently released 2014 “Rich States, Poor States” report places the Great Lakes State 12th out of 50. ALEC’s 2013 report placed Michigan at 25 between 1999...
Is Religious Freedom Good for Economic Growth?
In the United States, we’veonly begun to see how impediments to religious liberty can harm and hinder certain businesses and entrepreneurial efforts. Elsewhere, however, particularly in the developing world, religious restrictions and hostilities have long been a barrier to economic growth. To identify theserealities, Brian Grim of Georgetown University and Greg Clark and Robert Edward Snyder of Brigham Young University conducted an extensive study, “Is Religious Freedom Good for Business?,” which concludes that “religious freedom contributes to better economic and...
Ending Slavery Made America Richer
There is a near universal agreement that America’s experience with chattel slavery, where people are treated as the chattel or personal property of an owner and are bought and sold as if they modities, was one of our country’s gravest moral horrors. But some people seem to believe that the despicable institution aided the nation’s prosperity. That’s not the case, explains economist Scott Sumner, who points out that countries with free labor tend to be more prosperous: Between 1850 and...
A Constitutional Amendment Against Little Platoons
The great British statesman Edmund Burke claimed that “to love the little platoon we belong to in society is the first principle (the germ as it were) of public affections.” Burke was referring to the mediating social institutions that that lie between the individual and the state. These “little platoons” include not only the family but our churches, labor unions, charity organizations, and other voluntary associations. Since the dawn of modernity, intellectuals and politicians have been hostile to mediating structures...

Let’s ‘Derecognize’ Colleges That Discriminate Against Christians
To be a Christian requires, at a minimum, that a person subscribe to certain beliefs (such as that Jesus is God). For an organization to be labeled Christian would therefore imply that the members (or at least the leaders) also subscribe to certain beliefs. InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF) is, as the name implies, a Christian organization, so it isn’t surprising that it requires it leaders to subscribe to Christian beliefs. Sadly, it’s also not surprising that some people are offended...
Can A Text Message Save a Human Trafficking Victim?
The Polaris Project is one of the most highly-respected human trafficking organizations in the nation. Based in Washington, D.C., the Polaris Project (named after the North Star that guided slaves to freedom in the 1800s) is home to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. The hotline is able to receive calls or texts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Does it work? Apparently so. Jennifer Kimball was monitoring calls and texts at the hotline a few months ago. In...
Audio: Kishore Jayabalan On The OCED’s Economic Forecast
Vatican Radio reports that the Organization for Cooperation and Economic Development is adjusting its economic forecast for major developed economies downward, with growth in the Eurozone projected to be only 0.8% in ing year. Along with this forecast, the OCED is encouraging the European Central Bank to engage in a program of stimulus to offset the negative effects of such weak levels of growth. For analysis on this story, Vatican Radio turned to Kishore Jayabalan, Director of Istituto Acton in...
How Common Core Will Increase Poverty
In his Epidemics, Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, wrote that the physician has two special objects in view: to do good or to do no harm. That same principle should be the special object of every educator. While they may not always know what is required to do good, the least they can do is to do no harm. By applying that standard, it es inexplicable why educators are pushing for Common Core standards. A study released last year...
