Was It Not Worth Fighting for the Identity of PC?
Dr. Esolen explains why he left Providence College. Was Thomas More really that much more attractive? (via Mere Comments)
Benedictine Options
CWR: Benedictine Options by James Kalb
When worldly life is brutal and disordered, and the Church is persecuted, she needs a place where she can remember her ultimate goal. And when it’s easy and prosperous, she needs to have examples of heroic dedication to her fundamental vision.

He himself may be outspoken and have his own opinions, but I don't think this series will really lead to an "honest" conversation about race and identity.
The Primary Benefit?
Eastern martial arts schools often tout that children will learn "discipline" by attending their classes. Perhaps this is true -- expecting a commitment to a training regiment and the following of the school rules, along with an enforcement of consequences for breaking those rules, with male "role models" in the school to provide guidance -- it is possible that a martial arts school can have this salutary effect.
But there is something to be said for males (in their teens and beyond) to have a controlled exposure to the reality of violence and taking a punch (to the face or elsewhere), as Vox Day points out. This will encourage self-understanding, necessary for "self-mastery" with regards to dealing with anger and the use of violence, when today many harbor dangerous fantasies about their capabilities in a fight. Might it be that the benefit of discipline is not really possible until this basic self-understanding has been achieved?

If a Film Geek Should Watch This...
Then I'm glad I'm not a film geek. If Alec Guinness had been able to warn more children about the franchise.
