Men don’t want “life groups” where they “share their heart”. They want to argue, to think, to do, to accomplish.
What value is being added to their life by attending? How are they being pushed, how being used well by God?

A despicable article
1. It didn't name Corey Comperatore who heroically died defending his family.
2. It "places it in its context" aka delegitimize the enormity of what we saw.
3. It says "don't place your trust in politics" but then expects the reader to trust in the author.

This is backwards Jeremy.
Keating is inspiring but evil.
Welton is trying to hand on something important but hard and to hold students to high standards.
Truth, unfortunately, is often bitter.

Good piece, important issue. On the idea that “modern readers often project their own egalitarian values onto ancient texts, leading to misunderstandings of the texts’ intended meaning,” I agree that something is def wrong in how contemporary classical ed mediates the past. (1/x)

Cowardice should never be rewarded.
Further, these speech norms are enforced through punitive measures typical of female-dominated groups––social isolation, reputational harm, indirect and hidden force. To be “canceled” is to feel the whip of the Longhouse masters. |

Clearly hyperbole (an ancient and honorable rhetorical technique) but given the state of higher Ed is this really that controversial?

This is true, students are dying for clear engagement with great works and big ideas. They like being challenged. Dumb your curriculum down, refuse to defend the tradition that founded your college, students will leave.
From a recent student's reflection. Shared with permission.
An astonishing trend is happening in college enrollment. While many colleges are on life-support, traditional faith-based colleges such as Hillsdale, Benedictine, UD, TAC, and Cedarville are setting record enrollment.
