Summary
John Stonestreet and Shane Morris expose the spurious worldview assumptions of a Harvard Law professor who advocates banning homeschooling. They also launch into a discussion about parental rights and government responsibilities. Do governments recognize rights, or do they confer them.
They also discuss the Michigan governor's bizarre claim that abortion is "life sustaining, the rising tide of Christian persecution at the hands of jihadists in Nigeria, and end-of-life decisions.
Finally, they discuss our upcoming "Truth, Love, Together" virtual worldview conference. Check it out and register here. It's free!

| 0:00.0 | This is Breakpoint This Week, a weekly briefing on faith, culture, worldview, and mission with John Stone Street, president of the Colson Center for Christian World View. |
| 0:11.4 | Welcome to another edition of Breakpoint this week. I'm Shane Morris here with John Stone Street to talk about the stories of the week from a Christian worldview perspective. |
| 0:20.0 | And John, I think for many Americans, |
| 0:21.2 | we're coming up now on a month of lockdown or quarantine or whatever you want to call it. |
| 0:26.5 | And there have been some good jokes, I got to say, some good parody videos, you know, just |
| 0:31.5 | attempting to keep our spirits light and to pass the time. And I think my favorite so far has |
| 0:37.0 | been the mom and the dad and their kids that got together and they pass the time. And I think my favorite so far has been the mom and the dad and their |
| 0:38.8 | kids that got together and they sang a parody of the veggie-tail silly song, the pirates who |
| 0:43.9 | don't do anything. And it was the family who doesn't do anything. You just revealed your deep-seated |
| 0:50.2 | evangelical. I was going to say heritage, but there's a word for, oh, bonifides. What's heritage? |
| 0:54.8 | Come on. Bonifides. No, bonifides. That is legit. If you think about life through veggie tales, |

| 1:23.4 | Bonifides. Okay. So you did not see Larry Boy live at Raymond James Stadium or anything like that. |
| 1:30.3 | Man, I was older. |
