Must the Battle Between Religious Freedom and Equal Rights Be Winner-Take-All?Jun 21, 201822mGuest: Shapri LoMaglio, Vice President for Government and External Relations, Council for Christian Colleges & Universities, Washington, D.C. A week ago, Canada’s Supreme Court issued a major ruling that is expected to having rippling effects across North America. The case involves a private Christian university in Vancouver called Trinity Western, which planned to open a law school, but has been stymied by the regional law society’s refusal to give accreditation. The reason is that the law society objects to Trinity Western’s mandatory code of conduct for students and employees which prohibits extramarital sex and does not recognize gay marriage. The law society says that discriminates against LGBT people. Canada’s Supreme Court agreed. Faith-based institutions across the US and Canada were watching this case closely.

The Hijab in the United StatesJun 21, 201817mGuest: Loren Marks, PhD, Professor of Family Life, Brigham Young University The traditional Muslim headscarf, called the hijab, is often misunderstood, which is why New York resident Nazma Khan started World Hijab Day five years ago. From that sprung the 30-day Hijab Challenge during the month of Ramadan – which just concluded. Women of different faiths from all over the world wore the hijab in a show of solidarity. Part of the American Families of Faith survey project here at BYU has included interviews with devout American Muslim women about why they wear the hijab.

Is College for Everyone?Jun 21, 201811mGuest: Alex Bernadotte, MA, Founder and CEO of “Beyond 12” A college education remains one of the best ways for a young person to rise out of poverty. But how committed are we, really, to the idea that every child should have a chance at college? And is it enough just to get kids to college? Students from disadvantage background – especially those who are the first to go to college in their families – are far more likely to drop out before college graduation.
