…elicals reportedly voted for Trump in 2016, the percentage dropped to 76 percent in 2020, though experts contend that White evangelical support for Trump is “remarkably stable and consistently strong.” AFPI believes that if they can get back to 81, or even part way, that could make the difference in 2024. But wherever Wallnau, AFPI, and their partners go this election season, and whatever the outcomes of elections at all levels in 2024, the strugg…

As a child, DeSantis, a descendant of Italian immigrants, attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School in Dunedin, Florida. As an adult, he remains Catholic enough not only to have his son baptized with water from the Sea of Galilee, but also to emphasize “the power of prayer” in public settings. DeSantis attends political prayer breakfasts where he calls Communism “a…

The Dark Side of BYU’s Honor Code

…reating serious backlash among BYU students and faculty. Since then, Honor Code enforcement has been conducted through referrals—even third party referrals—of suspect students to a campus Honor Code office, a system of enforcement that has created significant opportunities for abuse.
