Providing transgendered children “puberty blockers” is currently one of the most controversial areas in medicine. Remarkably, little knowledge exists about the safety of these drugs (e.g., when I’ve asked liberal colleagues who support these drugs if they were aware of their dangers, they genuinely shared that they were not aware the drugs had any clinically significant side effects).

This turned England into one of the world’s leading watch-making centers, much like Switzerland, to which other Huguenots fled. Virtually the […]
Colleen Hroncich Honey Sayler has a passion for helping children learn to read. In addition to her elementary and special education degrees, she’s trained in the Orton-Gillingham method for literacy. So she was frustrated in public schools when students would have to drop into single-digit proficiency levels before being referred for special education. “We had to wait until kids got so far behind before offering intervention, and that just didn’t sit well with me,” she says. “I’m an […]
Brandan P. Buck On Capitol Hill, where memories are short, concern about open-ended military conflicts — or as one might call them, war — is now considered “hysteria.” Such was the case when Senator Tom Cotton, during hearings on the recent nomination of US Air Force Lieutenant General Dan Caine, mocked concerns about the prospect of US strikes on Iran’s nuclear program as “hysteria” while dismissively referring to concepts such as endless war or forever war in scare […]
