The Coming Classical Christian Downgrade
Introduction: A few years ago at the national ACCS convention, my son Nate was giving one of the plenary addresses, in the course of which he made a crack about creation and evolution. The ...
Hellbent Education
An Outlandish Year: We have all been witnesses, up close and personal, of a pretty outlandish year. The tides have behaved the way they always do, and the sunsets continue to be glorious, and the meadowlarks ...
Defund the Thought Police
Introduction: A lot of people are being distracted by the stupid element in all of this. They see, for example, that the Minneapolis City Council actually voted to defund their police department, or the mayor of New York City saying that he wants to cut funding for their policing back, and so on, and they …
Arrogance and Humility: Worlds in Collision.
Introduction: As we are engaged together in the endeavor of building an alternative school system, one natural question arises. Alternative to what? How can we be counter-cultural without knowing what culture we are countering, and what kind of culture we are countering with?

The first was entitled An Inescapable Burden of Glory, as you no doubt recall, and it addressed the necessity that God has placed upon all of us, and within each of us—that of seeking glory somehow, somewhere. …
Burn All the Schools
Introduction: H.L. Mencken once suggested a shrewd educational reform that has somehow not caught on. He said that there was nothing wrong with our current education establishment that could not be fixed by burning all the schools, and hanging all the teachers. Now some might want to dismiss this as an extreme measure, but visionaries …
Conservative Colleges That Don’t Conserve
So then, as Dylan said, you don’t have to be a weatherman to tell which way the wind is blowing. Progressives like to pretend that they are “the Resistance,” but the real resistance is going to have to come from people who believe the Bible, all of it. And one of the key battlegrounds with …
