@SportingKyd Inevitable outcome when deeply imprinted institutions and virtues—essential even if flawed—are degraded and systematically deconstructed leaving society void of purpose outside of empirical outcomes and animalistic instincts resulting in raw pleasure without meaning.
@SportingKyd Even more terrifying is the adults’ inability to actively combat social media’s intellectual junk food. Sometimes adults have to say no—no to ice cream, no to chips, no to the unregulated funnel of garbage accessed through phones. A well-timed no may lead to nourishing beauty.
When you and your colleagues strategize revitalization of the humanities, remember the teachers' college. Work to instill a love of literature in future teachers. Help them find joy in the texts rather than their clever critical dissections.
“We murder to dissect.” –Wordsworth
From my 13 yrs of HS teaching experience, the difference now is the cancerous causes decimating the humanities now permeate K-12 education.
PRIMARILY focussing on evil, lies, and ugliness sucks the joy from the necessary intellectual work of determining what it means to be human
@jreimr My baptism into beautiful literary criticism. Wichita State’s copy was on my desk more than it was on the library shelf during my graduate work.
Two years ago I watched the new leaves bud and grow while teaching my classes from home during lockdown. Here is a short essay that emerged from my musings. New Leaf https://t.co/gKaKNI1iNX via @frontporchrepub

Christmas Day
American Civil War
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
His son gravely wounded in the Civil War
Heard Christmas Bells
Wrote seven stanzas
All ending with
PEACE ON EARTH, GOOD-WILL TO MEN
Only Immanuel could inspire those words in that context.
Thanksgiving
This is my 12th year as a teacher.
Students that I respect, students that motivate me, universally share the virtue of gratitude.
The assumed perspective that blessings are gifts, not entitlements, illuminates life’s goodness, truth, and beauty including our own.
Identifying problems is easy; discovering solutions is conversely arduous.
Booker T Washington's problem solving principles:
PATIENCE
WISDOM
EARNEST EFFORT
Patience and earnest effort are hard to accept but understandable; pursuit of wisdom is more than a life's work.
THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK by DuBois
Ch 13: Of the Coming of John
“Does it make every one-unhappy when they study and learn lots of things?”
He paused and smiled. “I am afraid it does,” he said.
“And, John, are you glad you studied?”
“Yes,” came the answer, slowly but positively
VETERANS DAY
"We cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate-we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract...It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work"
