Summary

In response to The Walt Disney Company speaking out on the Parental Rights in Education bill (the "Don't Say Gay" law), Florida lawmakers are voting to end Disney's self-governing privileges in the Orlando area. In The Daily Article for April 21, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison asks, "When fighting a 'culture war,' should we be passivists or activists?" He cites how Billy Graham handled his personal critics, Yuval Levin's article "How to Curb the Culture War," and three biblical directives for Christians in the culture wars.
