I'm Albert Moeller and this is the briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a

You know, as you're thinking about worldview significance and where the water hits the

wheel, so to speak, in worldview terms, it's hard to come up with an issue of public

policy in which these issues are clearer

LGBTQ revolution and babies and reproduction and

contraception birth control just go down the whole list you have the entire

debate over morality and in particular sexual morality and that intersects with children, teenagers, young adults, sex education,

it's hard to imagine an issue when it comes to say the schools that would be more explosive.

edition of the 30th anniversary of the abstinence movement in terms of sex education for teenagers.
