One More Clown

“In our postmodern culture, the polytheism inherent in the diverse culture can certainly accommodate one more clown in the circus ring. What they cannot accommodate is a true alternative, which is starting to take shape. Christians have not presented a true cultural alternative until recently, when they began to provide their own children with an education consistent with what they believe. The reaction of the secularists to all of this shows that the children of this generation are often shrewder than the children of light. They know — far better than we do — what is actually at stake. They fear, rightly, the paideia of God” (The Paideia of God, p. 15)
