The board of New St. Andrews College meets four times a year. One of the things that we do together is assign a book at each board meeting, and we read it together with a plan to discuss it at the following meeting. It is quite a beneficial exercise, and there is a wide array …
Introduction: At the end of last month, I posted a thread of eleven comments on what I was there calling Hell-no-nationalism. It stirred the pot significantly, garnering almost 300K looks, and if we ...
