Wheatley Institute helped to host David French, author and columnist for the New York Times, as a speaker at Brigham Young University's campus forum, where he addressed increased political division and hatred in the United States.

Distinguished Wheatley fellow of religion, Shima Baughman, gave a devotional at Brigham Young University comparing the power of faith in Jesus Christ to the power of our own biological hearts, especially emphasizing the importance of temple covenants.

We were pleased to hear from Rabbi Meir Soloveichik as he discussed Jewish influences on the American founding. When the United States was founded, there were very few Jews in America; nevertheless, George Washington had a remarkable series of written interactions with them. A careful study of this story reveals the way in which Washington himself saw America, what Jewish hopes were for this new nation, and what this tale can teach us about the future of faith in America.

An article in the Deseret News uses Wheatley's research on the correlation between family structure and teens' digital media habits. The authors, Alyssa ElHage and Brad Wilcox, discuss the debate of a teen's place in the big tech world and how the government is addressing the concerns. They go on to give tips to parents on how to limit their children's screen time. The article concludes with a call to action for parents to take charge in their teens' digital habits until more can be done on Capital Hill.
