The last time I wrestled a girl was putting a diaper on my youngest daughter. I won. Not so for Brendan Johnson. A Classical Academy senior, Brendan, forfeited a match that knocked him out of a tournament. His opponent, a girl. The tournament ,the Colorado State High School Wrestling Championship. Brendan was a strong favorite to win in his weight class but chose to be true to his moral upbringing and Christian faith.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist Brian O’Neill nails the zeitgeist of our age in this piece, inspired by a “brilliant” story he read in The Atlantic. In it, “workism” is described as the identity cultural cornerstone and has become “among the most potent of the new religions competing for congregants.”
