Penna Dexter Question: Will Americans vote to stop the riots, the looting and the defund-the-police efforts in major cities across the country? The parties certainly understand that citizens, even those who sympathize with the peaceful George Floyd protests, are appalled at the violent turn some of the protests took.

Read NowPenna Dexter After months of online worship services, many Americans are happy to get back to in-person church. But parents with young children, who would love to return to church, may find that their church is open, but Sunday school isn’t.

Read NowPenna Dexter The vast California State University system announced last month that anyone receiving a degree from one of its schools must complete coursework in ethnic and social justice studies.
