Cultural Affairs Update (SE #76)
“If you want to seek wisdom, you need to seek the Lord. . . so go read your bibles.” ~Kenna Rose
SB 2872 was signed into law on August 2nd. It requires public schools to teach children “relaxation activities to enhance the mental and physical health of students” at least once a week. These techniques include, but are not limited to, mindful-based movements, yoga, breathing, meditation, and guided relaxation and may take place in social-emotional learning classes.
HB 4895 was signed into law on August 9th. Beginning in school year 2026, teachers must give instruction on climate change, which shall include, but not be limited to, identifying the environmental and ecological impacts and evaluating solutions to mitigate the impact.
HB 5239 was signed into law on August 7th. It restricts anyone from obtaining information about “lawful healthcare activity,” and more, through a FOIA request. Under this law, a parent would not be able to obtain information about their minor daughter’s abortion; their child’s STD treatment and books accessed at the library. It prohibits the State from any involvement in imposing civil or criminal penalties on a person that crossed state lines with another person, including a minor, seeking an abortion. Don’t think for a minute that comprehensive sex ed class instruction won’t make students aware of this law.

Honor Your Body: A Conversation with Nancy Pearcey (SE #75)
“We (Christians) have a very positive message in addressing all the cutting edge issues–from abortion to homosexuality to transgenderism–all of them involve, in some way, the body. And as Christianity today that has a much higher view of the body than any other religon or philosophy. [That] gives us the opportunity to have a very positive approach when we’re talking to our friends and family members on these issues.” ~Nancy Pearcy
Self Evident is delighted to share our conversation with the one and only Nancy Pearcy. She is a professor of apologetics and author of a plethora of books. In this episode, we discuss her two books about the toxic war against masculinity, how capitulating to the pronoun game destroys us from the inside, opera, loving friends who are under gender dysphoria, and so much more. Below are linked resources that were mentioned in the podcast.
“honor your body by living in accord with the Creator’s design.” ~ Nancy Pearcy

What Detransitioners Deal With: A Conversation with Camille Kiefel (SE #70)
“Medical care should be objective, but this is completely ideologically compromised.” ~Camille Kiefel
“An increasing number of women and men are moving forward after spending significant time identifying as “transgender.” Name and pronoun changes, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries have had a profound effect on their lives.
While the label of “detransitioner” is commonly used to describe them, the term is a misnomer: there is no way to reverse time or the impacts of these psychologically, socially, and physically life-changing experiences.”
Camille Kiefel is a victim of the medical establishment, undergoing a mastectomy, dealing with intense side effects and accused of psychosomatic behavior rather than being taken seriously. She tells her story to Self Evident in this episode.
To connect with Camille, go to her website at camillekiefel.com or detranshelp.org.
To see Camille and other panelists this coming Wednesday, please come to the Bolingbrook Golf Club. For more information, click here.
