Patrick Bell, a graduate student at Seattle University and a valued staffer at the dreaded Discovery Institute, won third prize in the MPA/MPP You Tube “Change the World in One Minute” Public Policy Challenge. You see, the DI and people associated with it, care a great deal about universal human rights. One of my co-senior fellows at the DI (in human rights), John Miller, focuses quite a bit on the issue, and I touch on it too, considering slavery/trafficking to be a direct and pernicious assault on human exceptionalism and the intrinsic moral worth of human life.
Way to go, Patrick!
