Through the Dobson Policy & Culture Center, we focus on issues related to righteousness in the culture, such as the sanctity of human life, the God-ordained institution of marriage, parental rights, freedom of religion, and other liberties guaranteed in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Late last night, news broke that was not entirely surprising, but it is completely disgusting. Donald Trump is now the first former president to be indicted on federal charges. Here are three observations about the indictment.
The divine order of God's Creation ("God created them male and female and blessed them" Genesis 5:2), free speech, and religious liberty all just won an important victory.
Six parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, are suing the county Board of Education for exposing their children to LGBTQ+ so-called "pride books." The parents are of diverse religious backgrounds including Catholic, Protestant and Muslim couples.
Indianapolis, Indiana, is now another battleground in the LGBTQ+ war on parents. Two groups, Indy Pride and Indiana Youth Group, have announced a Youth Carnival on June 7th for children only — no parents allowed. However, adults age 18 through 20 are also allowed to attend with the kids who will be there without their parents. Doesn't sound like a "safe space" to us.
This Memorial Day, Americans once again remembered, recognized, praised and gave thanks to God for patriots who gave their all, even unto death, to preserve and protect our nation. Meanwhile, halfway around the globe, faceless bureaucrats and their enablers in our own government are moving forward on a plan that will end America's sovereign ability to govern ourselves.
American corporations are failing when it comes to protecting free speech and religious liberty. Our friends at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) just released its second annual Viewpoint Diversity Score Business Index. The index examines 75 publicly traded corporations and rates them based on the strength of their safeguards for religious freedom and freedom of speech. Companies with no safeguards receive a 0, and those with robust safeguards are awarded 100.
JDFI is deeply concerned that America's most cherished liberties, outlined in our Bill of Rights, are more at risk today than at any time in our history. These rights, among them the freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the freedom of assembly, are under daily attack by powerful political, cultural and academic elites.
Two great dangers to America's children — abortion and so-called "transgenderism" — are increasingly being legislatively joined together in a tactic that threatens parental rights across America.
Target just missed the bullseye by a mile and then some. The retail giant has selected a brand out of the United Kingdom that promotes Satan. You read that right. Target's partner is called Abprallen. It has produced an apparel collection for Target's celebration of LGBTQ Pride month that proudly promotes satanic images and themes. This is as outrageous as it gets.
We hope all of America's moms had a fantastic, blessed Mother's Day. Dr. James Dobson and JDFI love and appreciate moms and the central role they play in God's creation.
