For more than 10 years, Colorado cake artist Jack Phillips has been dragged through courts because activists have targeted, harassed, and tried to punish him for his beliefs. In the third lawsuit targeting Jack and his business, Masterpiece Cakeshop, the Colorado Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s ruling that punished Jack for not designing a custom cake celebrating a gender transition, requested by an activist attorney. Jack serves everyone. But he can’t create every message that he’s asked to. The activist attorney said he wanted to “test” Jack and “correct the errors of [Jack’s] ...

Parents who want to adopt shouldn’t face discrimination for their deeply held Christian beliefs. They shouldn’t be denied access to available government opportunities because of their faith.

Coach David Bloch has given so much to the snowboarding program at Woodstock Union High School (WUHS) in Vermont. As the founder of the program, he has invested countless hours in student athletes.
