There is no overstating the influence you've had so far on opening hearts and minds to this pernicious threat. And framing it as fundamentalism is a brilliant insight. We as a society are unintentionally preying on some of our weakest members by allowing this mass psychosis to grow and flourish. We are missing opportunities to help (mostly) young people work through mental anguish to find purpose for their lives. And we are further allowing women to be marginalized by the lie that biological sex is not fixed and differentiating.

I share the grave concern that colleges, medical school, law schools, and corporations are gripped by a fatal capture. So many people I know point to the examples you gave and say "See, the pendulum is shifting!" but I too am not convinced. We have to speak the truth, lovingly and firmly, as often as we can. Thank you for giving us words and resolve to do so.

I have a step-kid that recently became a newly licensed emergency room dr. I can assure you the medical schools are preaching what I call the “sterilize and mutilate children” doctrine. He and I don’t speak anymore because he left for college believing abortion was morally wrong. He came back thinking it was ok to abort a baby up to birth if the woman feels like it.

Wow - that's upsetting. My daughter is considering med school (something that a decade ago I would have been thrilled with) but I admit I am truly worried about what they teach, and their ability to shroud it in a blanket of misinterpreted "science." Right now, my daughter and I see eye-to-eye on abortion, and I make sure we have open dialogue about all of these issues in the hopes that she remember there is not a single source of information.
