In what may be a passing era, the Republican party has been very successful (until now) in mobilizing support behind their candidates because of their "conservative" positions on abortion, same-sex marriage, sex education, and many other related issues. The films "Friends of God" and "The Education of Shelby Knox" describe the strong sentiments of people who support conservative stances on these issues as well as those who take more liberal positions.
Where do you stand on these issues? How important are these issues to you? You may reference either of the films or the discussions that we had in class. Be sure to comment for yourself and to comment on someone else's comment.
