This Is Cultural Subversion

According to this author's hermeneutics, classic texts are mere matter, to be re-formed as you wish—more precisely, as your own priors make you wish.

What a depressing view of the classics. All is power; every teacher is a propagandist armed with texts.https://t.co/pPaS5XUnXW

Culture Proceeds from a People

By itself literary culture cannot create a people, even if "inclusion" makes those in charge feel good about themselves for being open-minded.

Is it possible to maintain a classical core while also hearing from voices that have not traditionally been part of that core? Dr. Angel Adams Parham and Dr. Brian Williams discuss how to wisely read voices that have been left out of the canon:https://t.co/szG5V4RJ39

Two on Classical Education

And one surprisingly from America Magazine: Classical education is countercultural. It’s time to bring it back. by Matthew D. Walz

And a caution: Why A Classical Education Is Almost Impossible Today by Shawn Barnett
Of course, I'd prefer my child read classic literature and learn history than sit around reading propaganda on an iPad, but we can't return to a classical education in the truest sense of the phrase.

A true classical education that emphasizes fluency in Latin and/or Greek would be beneficial to the "cognitive elites," the intellectually gifted, but the number of such students is small. Consequently, mass-marketing "classical education" can only mean that standards or goals are modified accordingly. Instead of trying to sell classical education to all Catholics in an area, those who are trying to provide some sort of Catholic education to their brethren should match the plans of education to the students. If there aren't enough resources to start two schools, then other solutions have to be found. Some are needed to preserve high culture during this age of collapse, but not all require that sort of education, and they are not called to it either. The education, paideia, that should be common is moral, political, and cultural (the culture of the community, broadly speaking), and not necessarily intellectual.

Why Bother With the Classics?

CWR Dispatch: “Yours Is The Wisdom”: Pagans, Doctors, and Fathers by Jerry Salyer

To ask why Christian students should bother reading Cicero when they have Saint Augustine is a little like asking why babies should bother learning to talk when they could be learning to sing.

Catholic Classical Education in the News

And "traditional" or "conservative" Roman Catholics may be happy by the fact.

Lyceum School in Cleveland: This School Choir May Have Just Made History

Having browsed the photos I noticed part of the choir was composed of teenaged-women, presumably students at the school; and I confirmed with the information provided at the website that it is indeed coeducational. Catholic coeducation at the secondary level is still alive and well, even among certain "traditionalist" and "conservative" Catholic circles.

This is an institutional failure to address the first principles of education.

I suppose this phenomena will not disappear until continuing collapse wipes out most of the schools.

Tradition Is Not Enough.

There must be virtue, and virtue as it is found in virtuous, heroic men.

Classical education is important but do these new schools know for what sort of future they are preparing their students? We don't need more "nice" Christians.

The idea that we can appreciate ancient Greece and Rome without learning their languages was once unfathomable.
