Cultural Update: Ten Commandments in Schools; Title IX rules; Warning Labels for Social Media

This week, Sean and Scott discuss: 

  • Louisiana mandates public schools to display the Ten Commandments, sparking legal debates and opposition.
  • A federal judge in Kentucky blocks Biden's Title IX rules, arguing gender identity and sex are distinct.
  • The U.S. Surgeon General advocates for warning labels on social media to protect adolescents' mental health.
  • Listener question: Navigating self-defense as a Christian in light of Jesus' teachings on non-retaliation.
  • Listener question: Ethics of IVF and alternatives for pro-life couples concerned about genetic conditions.
  • Listener question: Ethical considerations of using a pen name for publishing controversial religious content.
