A federal judge on Nov. 3 upheld the suspension of a school teacher in New Britain, Connecticut, who refused to remove a crucifix from the wall above her school workspace.

U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Russell ruled that it is not legally permissible for a government employee, including public school teachers, to display a religious artifact in a classroom if the object is unrelated to instruction.

The plaintiff, Marisol Arroyo-Castro, had taught in Connecticut public schools for 32 years before she was removed from her classroom at DiLoreto Elementary & Middle School in December last year.

‘Progressive Christian’ Publishers Launch Children’s Bible Stories Laced with Radical Ideology– slaynews.com

Blurb:

“Progressive Christian” publishers are rolling out a new wave of children’s Bibles and devotionals that replace traditional teachings with messaging focused on far-left ideology, including social justice and Marxism-rooted “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI).

The new books are part of a growing push to reshape how children are introduced to faith.

Publishers behind the rewritten stories argue that the original Bible promotes “Christian white supremacy.”

The movement, which publishers openly describe as an effort to align Scripture with “modern values,” has sparked concern among parents and faith leaders who say it distorts biblical truth under the banner of “inclusion.”

At the forefront of this campaign is “The Just Love Story Bible,” a new title from Beaming Books aimed at children aged 4–10.

Pennsylvania Bills Would Allow Killing Babies in Abortions Up to Birth– www.lifenews.com

Blurb:

The health and safety of women and babies would be jeopardized, under a package of seven pro-abortion bills now before the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

“These dangerous bills turn the clock back on a number of safeguards for women and children,” said Maria Gallagher, executive director of the Pennsylvania Pro-Life Federation, the Keystone State affiliate of National Right to Life.

“This legislation disrespects the fundamental right of mothers and babies to be shielded from harm. The measures would be disastrous for the most vulnerable among us,” Gallagher added.

One measure, a proposed Constitutional Amendment, would pave the way for abortion up to the moment of birth. It would also mean widespread taxpayer funding of abortion. Poll after poll shows the vast majority of Americans do not want their hard-earned tax dollars to pay for aborting babies.

Other legislation would take away the 24-hour waiting period for abortions and strip parents of their right to be involved in a minor girl’s abortion decision.

In Boulder, Colorado, women can abort their child into the third trimester of pregnancy.

RISE Collective, an abortion clinic, opened its doors in October and is offering late-term abortions up to 34 weeks’ gestation, just six weeks shy of the average delivery time.

“At RISE Collective, we believe that any reason you have for needing abortion care is yours—and it is the right one,” the facility’s promotional video states.

RISE, standing for Reproductive Health, Inclusive Care, Support, and Empowerment, opens after abortionist and founder of Boulder Abortion Clinic Dr. Warren Hern retired earlier this year. The late-term abortion clinic operated for more than 50 years before closing its doors. Now, former Boulder Abortion Clinic staff work at RISE Collective.

Utah Valley University socialist students protested a proposal to erect a statue of Charlie Kirk on campus, saying that they don’t want outsiders on campus and do not want to honor the slain Turning Point USA founder.

“We’re out here because we want to protest any sort of Charlie Kirk memorial,” Collin Grannis told Scripps News Service last week. “We don’t want his likeness on campus; we don’t want his likeness sort of immortalized.” Tyler Robinson is accused of assassinating Kirk on Sept. 10 at the public university in Orem, Utah during one of Kirk’s speaking events.

Grannis (pictured) is with UVU Students for a Democratic Society. The group held signs at their rally that said things like “No Kirk on Campus” and “Memorial For Unity Not Hate,” according to a blog post he created on Fight Back! News. The protest was reportedly just 200 feet from where Kirk was killed.

Christian Leaders Ignore Muslim Genocide Of Nigerian Christians– thefederalist.com

For years, Christians have been systemically persecuted in Nigeria, with Muslim terrorist groups and militias periodically raiding, raping, murdering, and enslaving Christian civilians in the northern part of the country.

According to a recent article in Catholic Vote, “[F]rom 2019 to 2023, a total of 55,910 people were killed,” and “21,621 people were abducted.” During this four-year timespan, Nigeria “saw an average of eight attacks per day involving killings and/or abductions.” This has continued to this day, with “more than 7,000 Christians killed in Nigeria during the first 220 days of 2025.”

Yet Christian leaders continue to bury their heads in the sand about this crisis. In a recent speech, Pope Leo XIV carried on the unimpressive legacy of his predecessor by directing his righteous ire on Western nations being too inhospitable to immigrants: “With the abuse of vulnerable migrants, we are witnessing, not the legitimate exercise of national sovereignty, but rather grave crimes committed or tolerated by the state.”

Israeli lawmakers voted on Wednesday to advance two bills on annexing the occupied West Bank, barely a week after President Donald Trump pushed through a deal aimed at ending a two-year Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip that was retaliation for a Hamas attack.

“I think the president’s made clear that’s not something we can be supportive of right now,” Rubio said of annexation as he boarded his plane for a visit to Israel. Annexation moves are “threatening for the peace deal,” he told reporters.

A university professor has vowed to continue teaching after pro-Palestinian students disrupted his lecture, made a threat to behead him and called for him to be sacked.

Michael Ben-Gad, professor of economics at City St George’s, University of London, told Sky News he was also branded a terrorist because of links to Israel’s military, after he was conscripted to serve in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in the 1980s.

“It started, apparently on the same day as the start of the ceasefire [between Israel and Hamas]… which I don’t think is necessarily coincidental.

“There’s a whole industry that has developed about vilifying Israel, by extension, Jews. And they’re now looking for new targets.”

Mr Ben-Gad said it was not just his military service that protesters were complaining about.

“The other three accusations against me are that I studied at Hebrew University, this is a 100-year-old university in Jerusalem; that I’ve taught at the University of Haifa; and I’ve worked at the central bank [of Israel].

Cardinal Parolin slammed for downplaying Muslim terrorist attacks against Nigerian Christians– www.lifesitenews.com

Blurb:

Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin is under fire for remarks that downplay the terror attacks that Christians in Nigeria have been suffering at the hands of Islamic extremists for decades.

Parolin was the keynote speaker for an event held at the Vatican on Tuesday. The gathering focused on the recently released 2025 Religious Freedom Report published by Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).

ACN surveyed 196 countries for its report. It found that just under two-thirds of the world’s population live in countries with “serious or very serious violations of religious freedom.” Twenty-four countries, including Nigeria, received the “worst” category in its report: persecution.

The report notes that “organized crime is a key driver of persecution or discrimination” in Nigeria. It also found that persecution in Nigeria “results from a combination of authoritarian governance and religious extremism.”

“Nigeria has experienced a sharp rise in religiously motivated violence, especially in the North and the Middle Belt,” it recalls. “Armed groups like Boko Haram, ISWAP, and radicalized Fulani herdsmen have targeted churches, villages and religious leaders, leading to widespread displacement, land seizures, and attacks on Christian communities.”

Mehdi Hasan to American Christians: “If You Can Have Your Church Bell, We Can Have Our Islamic Prayer Call”– gellerreport.com

The Islamic call to prayer is a declaration of the superiority of Islam, a religion that directs its believers to make war against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29).

The adhan (Islamic call to prayer), prayed in Arabic, repeats “Allahu akbar” six times, “I testify that there is no god but Allah” three times, and “I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s prophet” twice. (Robert Spencer)

On its face, one cannot liken the shrill abrasion of the nails-on-chalkboard adhan to the ethereal grandeur of symphonic church bells. But more specifically, church bells have no verbal content. And church bells are rung one or twice a week, the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast five times a day at deafening levels beginning pre-dawn.

Not to mention what the cries of “Allahu akbar” evokes.

Am I going too far, William, for making that assertion?

WAJ (07:18):

No. And we have not only almost 1400 years of history, we have current events. Look at what has happened in London. Look at what has happened in Paris. We don’t want to become London and Paris. We want to continue to be America.

And it’s a tension that we have because we do have a constitution and everybody has individual rights. On the other hand, the Constitution is not a suicide pact, and we’re entitled to maintain a republic that upholds that constitution. And so by allowing people in who are not committed to that, by allowing people in who do not view our constitution as valid, by allowing people in who come for the very purpose of subverting our society, we are committing suicide.

But the larger question remains: Why would a public school introduce spiritual practices rooted in witchcraft to impressionable young students, and what does this reveal about the direction of public education?

Grooming gang victims tell Jess Phillips to step down over chaotic inquiry – The Telegraph

Fiona Goddard, one of four survivors who quit the inquiry’s victims’ panel over their concerns, produced a consultation document in which they were asked whether the inquiry could “take a broader approach”.

“I didn’t make this up. The documents are right there. Being dismissed and contradicted by a minister when you’re telling the truth takes you right back to that feeling of not being believed all over again,” said Ms Goddard.

“I think she needs to step down because she’s publicly accused a grooming gang survivor who, throughout my whole life has been accused, of lying over and over again – that is part of the whole scandal.”

90K People Euthanized by Canada since “Assisted Suicide” became Law in 2016

So far, 90,000 people have taken advantage of Canada’s law MAID, (Medical Assistance in Dying) which legalizes assisted suicide. In 2024, there were 16,500 MAID suicides, which accounted for 5% of total deaths that year.

Canada’s average wait time to see a specialist is now at 27.7 weeks, an all-time high, and this fact alone has led to documented suicides, including from a Winnipeg woman who wrote just before her MAID suicide, “I could have had more time if I had more help.”

Uruguay, once a conservative pillar in Latin America, has crossed a tragic threshold. Its Senate has voted to legalize euthanasia, turning the nation’s medical profession into an instrument of state-sanctioned death. After eight years of debate and multiple legislative battles, the upper house approved the so-called “Dignified Death.” The law allows doctors to end the lives of patients who claim to suffer “unbearable pain” from incurable conditions.

Uruguay has abandoned life.

On October 15, 2025, Uruguay’s Senate voted 20 to 11 to legalize euthanasia. This followed a 64 to 29 vote by the Chamber of Representatives on August 13, 2025. With those two votes, Uruguay’s legislature handed doctors the legal authority to kill. The left-wing government of President Yamandú Orsi celebrates this as a milestone. They cheer it as progress. What they have approved is death, on demand, wrapped in official procedure and sold as compassion.

Supporters call it compassion, but it’s not. It’s surrender. They claim it protects choice, but it erases conscience. By declaring death a form of medical care, Uruguay has chosen elimination over treatment, and despair over dignity. This isn’t progress. It’s a complete moral collapse.
