Faith should be a personal choice. It should never be used as a test of team loyalty or buy-in. But in college sports, more and more coaches are crossing that line, pushing their personal religious beliefs onto players and shaping the culture of the team around it.

It should always be a player’s choice whether or not to participate in prayer and religious discussion.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder in Utah on September 10, Spencer's words are now more timely than ever.

Directed by Emmy and Peabody Award winner Alexis Aggrey, Becoming Thurgood relates the origin story of the famed Justice, revealing who and what shaped him. The documentary takes us through Marshall’s years as a “boy wonder” who won court case after court case against white supremacy, culminating in his appointment as the first Black Justice to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. As Haygood notes in the film, “legally speaking, he’s one of our founding fathers.”

The new documentary ‘Becoming Thurgood: America’s Social Architect’ constructs a saga for the ages.

Without question, this is the darkest hour for higher education in America. School administrators have no good options, and only one moral choice of action: resist. Preserve academic integrity at all costs, even if it means losing funding. Do not allow this administration to dictate what universities are allowed to teach, or whom they are allowed to enroll. And, above all, do not let it dictate what students, professors, or anyone else on a college campus is allowed to say.

I know firsthand how college can transform lives. Capitulating to authoritarian intimidation will rob future generations of that chance.

Israel has issued new evacuation orders for the entire population of Gaza City to leave, in preparation for its full-scale ground occupation of the city by October 7, 2025. But for many, leaving is no longer a choice.


When ‘the only choice left is not where to go—but how to face the end.’
