SUMMARY:America’s Marriage Divide: Why Marriage is Flourishing among the Upper Middle Class and Floundering among Everybody Else
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to family life\, men\, women\, and children in educated and affluent communities are thriving: they enjoy strong and stable families\, low rates of divorce and nonmarital childbearing\, and comparatively high rates of marital quality. By contrast\, working-class and poor families are floundering: divorce is high\, single parenthood is common\, and marital quality is comparatively low. This talk by U.Va. Professor Bradford Wilcox explains why there is a marriage divide in America\, and why it matters that so many children\, men\, and women in poor and working-class communities don’t have access to “The Marital Privilege.” \nTuesday\, April 9\, 2019\n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM MT\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W. Alameda Ave. Lakewood\, CO 80226\nLeprino Hall 170 \nAbout Dr. Brad Wilcox\nDr. Wilcox is Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia and a member of the James Madison Society at Princeton University. As an undergraduate\, he was a Jefferson Scholar at U.Va. His research focuses on marriage\, and on the ways that gender\, religion\, class\, and children influence the quality and stability of American family life. He has published articles on marriage\, cohabitation\, fatherhood\, and religion and family life in The American Sociological Review\, Social Forces\, The Journal of Marriage and Family\, and The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion. His research has been featured in The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, The Washington Post\, Time\, CNN\, NBC’s The Today Show\, and numerous NPR stations. \nOnline Form – DL – B. Wilcox – April 9 \nPowered by Formstack

SUMMARY:Dr. Charles Murray and the Pulse of American Culture
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Charles Murray has his finger on the pulse of American culture. He argues that what divides America is not race or party but economic class and virtue. \nMurray will be speaking about his book Coming Apart\, what fellow scholar Brad Wilcox called a “sobering portrait of a nation where millions of people are losing touch with the founding virtues that have long lent American lives purpose\, direction and happiness.” \nCome and hear how American culture has evolved even further in the past decade\, and what needs to be done to address our root problems. \n  \nMonday\, February 11\, 2019\n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM\nColorado Christian University\nLeprino Hall 170\n8787 W. Alameda Ave.\nLakewood\, CO 80226 \n\nDr. Charles Murray \nCharles Murray is the F.A. Hayek Emeritus Chair in Cultural Studies at the American Enterprise Institute. A political scientist\, author\, and libertarian\, he first came to national attention in 1984 with the publication of “Losing Ground\,” which has been credited as the intellectual foundation for the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. His 1994 New York Times bestseller “The Bell Curve” (Free Press\, 1994)\, coauthored with the late Richard J. Herrnstein\, sparked heated controversy for its analysis of the role of IQ in shaping America’s class structure. Dr. Murray’s other books include “What It Means to Be a Libertarian” (1997)\, “Human Accomplishment” (2003)\, “In Our Hands” (2006)\, “Real Education” (2008)\, and the New York Times bestseller “Coming Apart” (2012). His most recent book\, “By the People: Rebuilding Liberty Without Permission” (Crown Forum\, 2015) urges Americans to stem governmental overreach and use America’s unique civil society to put government back in its place. \nDr. Murray has Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a B.A. in history from Harvard University. \nOnline Form – CCU – C Murray – Feb 11 \nPowered by Formstack

SUMMARY:Challenges with Government-Run Education
DESCRIPTION:Government-run education in Colorado is facing serious challenges. A record number of Colorado families are choosing homeschool or charter schools. According to U.S. News and World Report\, four out of the top five performing high schools in Colorado are charter schools. Senator Ben Sasse criticized government-run education as an effort to “homogenize” our kids. Faith leader James Dobson said\, “Today\, public schools don’t offer much in the way of values education\, and if they do\, it’s often wrong.” Some even believe what goes on in public schools can be harmful to a student’s development and learning. \nStill\, a vast majority of Coloradans choose government-run education for their children. How does Colorado improve education? What are the hurdles and challenges facing policymakers\, educators\, and parents? Should Colorado take steps to embrace vouchers and provide religious school choice for parents? How do we achieve the best education for Coloradans? \nJoin the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University for this important conversation on the challenges facing government-run education. \nJanuary 14\, 2019\n7:00 PM – 8:30 PM\nColorado Christian University\nLeprino Hall 170\n8787 W.

SUMMARY:Early Childhood Care and Education Policy Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Should America expand paid maternity leave? How do you balance the needs of parents\, children\, and small business owners? Should the state of Colorado provide free preschool and kindergarten? Are there free-market-based policies that can serve parents\, children\, and business owners? What are other options to support early childhood education? What’s working for parents and children and what’s broken now? \nEvery day\, millions of working parents struggle with keeping careers on track while raising children\, and finding balance between child rearing and building a career is exceptionally hard. The first 1\,000 days of a child’s life\, in particular\, set the foundation upon which all future development and learning takes place. Employers and our wider society benefit when children get the right start and thrive\, and society and employers win when working parents are productive. Although both beneficiaries can do far more to ensure working parents are equipped to nurture their children and advance their careers\, state and federal policies have not been responsive or supportive of this fundamental social issue. If work is truly the path toward economic security and upward mobility\, public and workplace policies that allow parents to succeed in the workforce\, and do right by their children\, are vital to the future success of our country. \nThe focus of the Early Childhood Care & Education Policy Distinguished Lecture will be to illuminate market-based policies that strike a healthy balance between family wellbeing and a prosperous economy. The featured speakers will include national policy experts\, Katharine Stevens\, who leads the early-childhood program at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI)\, and Nadine Maenza\, the founding Executive Director of Patriot Voices\, where she leads the organization’s special emphasis on public policies that help working families. The panelists will also include State Senator-Elect Brittany Pettersen and State Representative Alec Garnett\, who will provide perspective on early childhood education policies in our state. Gloria Higgins\, the President of Executives Partnering to Invest in Children (EPIC) will serve as the panel moderator\, and will shed light on the employer’s perspective. \nMonday\, December 10\, 2018\n7:00pm – 8:30pm\nColorado Christian University\nLeprino Hall 170\n8787 W.

SUMMARY:The Uniqueness of the American Constitution in Advancing Religious Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Just in time for Constitution Day\, join us for an important evening exploring religious freedom and its protections found in the First Amendment. \nReligious freedom\, uniquely protected by the U.S. Constitution\, is facing a barrage of challenges.

How do the threats against religious freedom affect all Americans\, not just Christians? How can we balance public accommodation laws and the First Amendment? How has our understanding of freedom changed in America? How can we run our businesses according to our own beliefs without suing each other to death? \nJoin our talented lineup of legal and public policy experts as we explore religious freedom and the First Amendment. \nSpeakers: \n\nEric Baxter\, Vice President and Senior Counsel for Becket Law\nBrenna Grasz\, Colorado Christian University graduate and law student at the University of Nebraska\nEric Hall\, Partner\, Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP\nDr. Stephen Shumaker\, Professor of Politics\, Colorado Christian University\nDr. Kyle Usrey\, Vice President of Academic Affairs in the College of Undergraduate Studies at Colorado Christian University\n\nMonday\, September 10\, 2018\n7:00-8:30pm\nColorado Christian University\n8787 W.

SUMMARY:When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment
DESCRIPTION:The transgender movement has hit breakneck speed. In the space of a year\, it’s gone from something that most Americans had never heard of to a cause claiming the mantle of civil rights. \nBut can a boy truly be “trapped” in a girl’s body? Can modern medicine really “reassign” sex? Is sex something “assigned” in the first place? What’s the loving response to a friend or child experiencing a gender-identity conflict? What should our law say on these issues? \nDr. Ryan T. Anderson will provide thoughtful answers to these questions and more as he presents his latest book\, When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment. Drawing on the best insights from biology\, psychology\, and philosophy\, Ryan T. Anderson offers a balanced approach to the policy issues\, a nuanced vision of human embodiment\, and a sober and honest survey of the human costs of getting human nature wrong. \nHe reveals a grim contrast between the media’s sunny depiction and the often sad realities of gender-identity struggles. He introduces listeners to people who tried to “transition” but found themselves no better off. Especially troubling is the suffering felt by adults who were encouraged to transition as children but later came to regret it. \nAnd there is a reason that many do regret it. As Anderson shows\, the most helpful therapies focus not on achieving the impossible—changing bodies to conform to thoughts and feelings—but on helping people accept and even embrace the truth about their bodies and reality. This discussion will be of particular interest to parents who fear how an ideological school counselor might try to steer their child. The best evidence shows that the vast majority of children naturally grow out of any gender-conflicted phase. But no one knows how new school policies might affect children indoctrinated to believe that they really are trapped in the “wrong” body. \nThroughout his new book\, Anderson highlights the various contradictions at the heart of this moment: How it embraces the gnostic idea that the real self is something other than the body\, while also embracing the idea that nothing but the physical exists. How it relies on rigid sex stereotypes—in which dolls are for girls and trucks are for boys—while also insisting that gender is purely a social construct\, and that there are no meaningful differences between women and men. How it assumes that feelings of identity deserve absolute respect\, while the facts of our embodiment do not. How it preaches that people should be free to do as they please and define their own truth—while enforcing a ruthless campaign to coerce anyone who dares to dissent. \nEveryone has something at stake in today’s debates about gender identity. Analyzing education and employment policies\, Obama-era bathroom and locker-room mandates\, politically correct speech codes and religious-freedom violations\, Anderson shows how the law is being used to coerce and penalize those who believe the truth about human nature. And he shows how Americans can begin to push back with principle and prudence\, compassion and grace. \nMonday\, April 9\, 2018\n7:00 pm – 8:30 pm\nColorado Christian University\nLeprino Hall 170\n8787 W.

Also in spring 2017\, the University of Notre Dame Press released a collection of essays he edited with Dan Philpott titled\, A Liberalism Safe for Catholicism? Perspectives from “The Review of Politics.” \nAnderson received his bachelor of arts degree from Princeton University\, graduating Phi Beta Kappa and magna cum laude\, and he received his doctoral degree in political philosophy from the University of Notre Dame.
