@SportingKyd The Tempest—I’ll guest lecture

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

@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.

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

@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.

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

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

I recall a certain professor discussing this topic at length in the fall of 2014 when beginning my graduate work.

[Fran Connor @SportingKyd]

People of earth: yes I’ve read this, yes it’s quite concerning, yes we’re strategizing for the future, please stop sending this to me

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

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

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

@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

1863

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.

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

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.

[Stuart Busenitz @stuartbusenitz]

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"
