4. ParentalRights.org--We Cannot Trust the Parents
The arguments for greater government intrusion into family life always
assume that parents can't be trusted. On the other hand, those
arguments also imply that government officials can always be trusted
with children--without oversight.

5. Patrick Henry College: Debate Captain Named All-American
As the 2007-2008 academic year winds down, Patrick Henry College's
parliamentary and debate can take satisfaction in another successful

Educational Debate Association named senior Nathanael Yellis an
All-American Debater.

6. 'Home School Heartbeat': An Interview with Alex and Brett Harris
What is God's eternal purpose for teens? As 1 Timothy states, it is to
"set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in
faith, in purity." This biblical standard goes against what the media
tells us to expect from teenagers. On this week's series, Alex and
Brett Harris, 19-year-old authors of the new book "Do Hard Things,"
talk about how teenagers can become young adults excited to support
their family, church, and a strong nation.

the country, kicking off the GenJ conference season with three hugely
successful educational teen tracks designed to teach young people
about American government, and how young people can make a difference.
