There’s a new children’s book on the market, and it’s designed to teach children aged zero-up about the importance of giving consent before allowing family and friends to make physical contact. According to the books stated purpose, ‘C is for Consent’ follows “expert recommendations” about letting children decide when and how to offer affections to others. “By not forcing hugs and kisses, caregivers help kids feel control over their bodies, comfortable with expressing boundaries, and respectful of the boundaries of others.” Despite recommendations by the American Academy of Pediatrics and recent publicity efforts by the Girl Scouts, many people still…

A University in Sydney is forcing students to undergo a sexual consent training course in order to view their exam results. The University of Technology Sydney reportedly issued students a notice that said, “Want your results? Complete Consent Matters training in order to see your session results.” “You’ve got to be absolutely kidding me,” one student said. “My university handed this to me after my first exam. They’re going to ransom my test results until I complete this mandatory consent training. All UTS students are in the same boat.” You’ve got to be absolutely kidding me ? My university handed…

Austen Fletcher from Fleccas Talks headed to California State University in Long Beach on Tuesday to chat with Antifa protesters attempting to shut down an event featuring Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens.

Defaming Mohammed exceeds the limits of free speech, “goes beyond the permissible limits of an objective debate” and “could stir up prejudice and put at risk religious peace,” the European Court of Human Rights ruled on Thursday. The ruling came after the seven-judge panel upheld an Austrian court’s decision to convict a woman for calling Mohammed a paedophile. The 47-year-old woman from Vienna, known only as Mrs S, reportedly held two seminars titled, “Basic Information on Islam,” in which she detailed the marriage between Mohammad and his six-year-old wife, Aisha. According to reports, Mrs S told her class that Mohammad…

Senator James Paterson has applauded Simon Birmingham for his “careful stewardship of taxpayer dollars,” after the former education minister rejected $4.2-million in recommended university research grants. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, this is the first time a minister has used such powers in more than a decade. On Twitter Labor Senator for Victoria, Kim Carr said, “last time this happened was by Brendan Nelson.” However, in Carr’s next tweet he went on to call Birmingham’s actions “unprecedented.” “The former Minister has interfered with Australia’s peer review system,” Carr tweeted. “Is it because he did not like the topics, the…

Elshtain is right, viewing Christianity as an ethic of universal niceness and attributing it to Jesus Christ, is an aberration of Christianity. It misses the point.

Their company tagline reads, “We want to magnify Christ like a telescope.” Last year, a Minnesota court ruled that the couple were in violation of the state’s Human Rights Act which requires them to abandon their faith by using their services to create films celebrating homosexuality and same-sex marriage. According to the Alliance Defending Freedom, “State officials have categorically, publicly, and repeatedly threatened to prosecute expressive business owners who decline to create speech promoting…

With politicians like these, who needs enemies? So often in the West we find people of power and influence claiming to represent the peoples’ best interest, but in actual fact, they’re doing the exact opposite. The following footage was taken February 19, 2012 during a public townhall meeting at the Islamic Society of Orange County in California. Congresswoman Maxine Waters offered a speech, criticizing opposition to the implementation of Sharia Law calling it anti-Muslim bigotry. “It was important to recognize what’s really going on, on these anti-Sharia laws,” Waters said. “They’re motivated by anti-Muslim bigotry, plain and simple.” “Sharia equals…

In September the European Union voted to strip Hungary of its voting rights in retaliation for their anti-immigration policies. Hungarian Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto told CBN News, “Basically it’s revenge. The European parliament has a majority of MEPs who are pro-migration, absolutely pro-migration. “And since the Hungarian government has proven in the last three and a half years that migration is a negative phenomenon, migration is dangerous, and migration can and must be stopped, this annoys the majority of the members of the European parliament. This annoys the bureaucrats in Brussels. This annoys the European commission…” Szijjarto went on to…

Tommy Robinson has slammed the BBC and fake news media in a speech delivered to thousands of supporters gathered outside the Old Bailey yesterday. “If we went and found members of the British public and they met me, they’d shake my hand and tell me to carry on going,” Robinson said. “If you told them that you work for the BBC, you’d get a completely different response to what I get. You wish to try and portray that I am hated, whereas in reality, it’s you that are hated. “You have lied, you have played your part, and all of…

Hidden away, near to the middle of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s ‘The Cost of Discipleship,’ rests a three page essay on marriage called ‘Woman.’ Why Bonhoeffer named this chapter so specifically is a mystery.  My best guess here is that he was looking to the growing ease by which society has sold and objectified sex. The chapter is an analysis of Jesus’ views on marriage, divorce and sexual immortality; or as Bonhoeffer states, ‘sexual irregularities’(p.85). The texts referred to are Matthew 5.27-32, 1 Cor. 6:13-15 & Gal 5:24, and it forms part of his larger discussion on ‘The Sermon on The Mount.’ What Bonhoeffer means by ‘sexual…

Tasmania is set to become the first state to remove gender from birth certificates in a move to appease transgender activists. According to The Australian, a vote is expected in Tasmania’s lower house next month, as amendments to a bill ending the need for trans people to divorce before they can change their gender on official documents. Amendments also include removing the need for trans people to have sex-change surgery before switching genders. The Australian Christian Lobby said the amendments essentially abolished gender, further “homogenised humanity” and “greatly diminished” the significance of birth certificates. Lyle Shelton from the Australian Conservatives…

“Let me control the textbooks and I will control the state.” This quote has often been attributed to Adolf Hitler. Whether or not he said it is beside the point. As sinister as it sounds, it’s widely held that, “he alone, who owns the youth, gains the future.” Educating children is an investment, and there are many fighting to invest in your children today in order to further their causes tomorrow. So, what are we allowing them to put into their textbooks? What sort of state, what sort of future, are we allowing them to create? And what are we…

Ryan Saavedra from the Daily Wire explains: “Not sure what fairy tale this is supposed to be, but since Kristen Bell brought up Snow White, let’s assume it’s her or Sleeping Beauty.” “Per Disney: Snow White is 14; Sleeping Beauty is 16. They’re under 18, meaning this tweet could qualify as child porn under U.S. law,” Saavedra explained. “To clarify,” Saavedra added, “under federal law, drawing and animation are considered child pornography, and you can be convicted for possessing or marketing of such material.” Also see: WATCH: Amnesty International creates gross cartoon of Sleeping Beauty being sexually assaulted: ‘No consent,…

Amnesty International agrees with Kristen Bell: Some of our fairy tales are sending a rape endorsing message to our children. “Don’t you think it’s weird that the prince kisses Snow White without her permission?” the Frozen star said last week. “Because you cannot kiss someone if they’re sleeping.” On Friday, ‘human rights’ group Amnesty International said Bell’s observations were correct. “So, Kristen Bell is right,” the group said on Twitter. “We need to talk about consent – and fairytales are an excellent place to start.” The group also released an alternative ending to the much love children’s classic, Sleeping Beauty,…

I worry that Australia is sleepwalking its way to disaster. Political correctness, identity politics and cultural Marxism have run through our institutions at an astonishing rate. Sometimes I’m asked why I wasn’t saying these things when I was leader of the Labor Party in 2004. The answer is straightforward: none of these issues were current 14 years ago. They simply didn’t exist. Australian politics has been through a remarkable period of change. Prior to the election of the Rudd Government in 2007, the budget was in surplus, our electricity supply was stable and affordable, political correctness had disappeared and only…
