Five Great Movies to Watch on St. Patrick’s Day

Posted by Mike LaChance on March 17, 2017 15 Comments

Today is St. Patrick's Day. If you don't have plans to go out for a pint tonight, you may want to just watch a movie at home. There are lots of great films that would fit this list but I'm limiting it to five of my favorites. All of these films are available on Netflix so pick up some Guinness on the way home, I recommend pub draft in cans, and watch a movie.

VIDEO: Students Hate Betsy DeVos but Agree With Her Policies

Posted by Mike LaChance on March 15, 2017 10 Comments

In the video below, college students are asked for their thoughts on President Trump's Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. Their responses sound like they came right off a Democratic Party memo: "DeVos isn't qualified for the position!" and "Anyone but her would have been a better choice!" and "She doesn't know what she's talking about!" Then the interviewer asks the same students for their thoughts on policies like school choice and vouchers for low income families - policies embraced by DeVos - and the students agree with them.

Alliance Defending Freedom recently visited the campus of UW-Madison and asked students when it's OK to refuse to do business with someone. Two hypothetical situations presented to students sounded fine to most but a third caused quite a bit of discomfort. Should a designer be forced to work with Melania Trump? Of course not, most students respond. Should a Muslim singer be able to refuse a Christian church's request for service. Most students agree.
