For Women’s History Month, let’s revisit “The Da Vinci Code” and the myth of the Sacred Feminine. March is Women’s History Month. In honor of women’s history, I re-read The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. The 2003 novel, which became a runaway bestseller, tells the story of how the…

Maybe we should do a better job of parenting our own children. I’ve heard enough about Ron DeSantis and his crusade against “Drag queen story hours” in Florida. But as the parent of an 11-year-old fifth grader named Catherine, I thought I might chime in on this ridiculous debate. First…
