"The woods would be silent

if no birds sang except those that sang best."

"The struggle for the soul of America

is now between an atheism

"While the 'liberal democracies' of Germany, Sweden, and Norway have recentlycriminalized home schooling,

as a recognition of natural parental rights."

Allan C. Carlson

"The Ironic Curtain" in Touchstone, July/August 2018.

 

"Education is not something one can program

into a child as if he were a cyborg.

Education is a lived experience,

an experience of being led out of ignorance

into the fully articulated and distinct calling of one's personality."

Patrick B. Whalen

"Cyborgs in Hell?" in Touchstone, July/August 2018.

 

"We need schools that place the young in contact with reality,

schools that provide occasions for wonder, and

schools that teach the young

to be attentive to what is greater than themselves."

Patrick B. Whalen

"Cyborgs in Hell?" in Touchstone, July/August 2018.

 

"In our time, Christians attract the hatred of everyone

because they are not wholly given over to unreality."

Anthony Esolen

"Right Before Our Eyes" in Touchstone, July/August 2018.

 

"The bird, the bee, the running child

are all the same to a sliding glass door."
