“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” This defiant and bipartisan defense of the purity of education, delivered by Harvard President Alan Garber, sounds fantastic, right? After all, what society that pretends…

The Easter season can remind people of classic Hollywood movies with religious themes. Every year, ABC still airs “The Ten Commandments.” People might break out “The Passion of the Christ” from 2004, or head to the theater to see “The King of Kings” or “The Chosen: Last Supper,” building on that streaming TV series on…

“Eighty and six years I have served Him, and He has done me no wrong,” said Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, in A.D. 156 before climbing onto a pyre where Roman authorities would burn him to death.
