The more time you spend around classical schools, the more obvious it becomes that children are hungry for substance.
Give them great books, serious ideas, and high expectations.
Many will surprise you.
250 thousand white girls raped and trafficked by Muslim immigrant pedophiles in the UK. Industrial scale sexual abuse and torture inflicted on the native inhabitants by barbaric foreign gangs who were welcomed into the country by the government. One of the worst scandals in the history of the western world. It really is that bad. Anyone who ignores this story is forever discredited going forward. Watch especially for the people on βour sideβ who look the other way.
Happy Birthday to the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. A relentless patriot who fights every day for the country he loves, the people he serves, and the American Dream. πΊπΈπΊπΈ
Students once spent years asking:
β What is justice?
β What is courage?
β What is truth?
β What is beauty?
β What is a good life?
Now they ask:
β What pays well?
β Which degree is useful?
β What do employers want?
The questions changed long before the curriculum did.
And the curriculum changed long before the culture did.
Can't stop thinking about this quote:
"The question is not whether schools transmit values. The question is which values they transmit."
β David V. Hicks
Every civilization must deliberately teach what is worth loving, what is worth sacrificing for, and what is worth defending.
That was once the central task of education.
Then, in less than a century, everything changed.
Go ask a normal American student why school matters and you will hear something about college, career, or money.
Go ask a classically educated student the same question and you will hear words like wisdom, virtue, truth, beauty, or God.
That is the difference between education as workforce preparation and education as human formation.
America has spent generations funding the first vision while wondering why the second kind of person disappeared.
@McJuggerNuggets Doesnβt sound like you had a hard time making the choice at all really. Sounds pretty selfish actually. Down Syndrome children are beautiful souls. How shameful.
@elisa_urqu25277@mcgillmd921 I barely watch TV either. But I also have four kids enrolled in a University-Model school, I clean my own home, cut my own 2acre yard, have a vegetable garden, have chickens, cows, pigs, cook from scratch, attend church regularly. Plus also live 30 min from most places we regular
No, the Great American State Fair (June 25βJuly 10, 2026, National Mall) is framed as a national celebration of Americaβs 250th anniversary with state pavilions, performances, and classic fair elements.
The broader America250 effort is a congressionally authorized nonpartisan commemoration. Freedom 250βs specific event operates as a public-private partnership tied to the current administrationβs Task Force 250 and uses patriotic messaging some view as aligned with it. Organizers call it unifying; critics and multiple artists (including Martina McBride) called the nonpartisan claim misleading and withdrew.
Itβs a birthday party for the countryβpolitics attached in todayβs environment.
