This is the basic fact of American life that conservatives refuse to understand. The American ruling elite and the poor chumps who emulate them hate everything this country ever was. For 40 years high school history teachers have regaled their classes with attacks on white men who enslaved negroes, oppressed women, massacred Indians, and insulted Jews.
Why go on? This is what passes for news in the new millennium, and not just on NPR or in other leading organs run by lackeys of the regime. Many have said this before, but Evelyn Waugh, much less Terry Southern, could not make this stuff up.
Most histories of the early Church emphasize its antagonistic relationship with the Roman Empire. There is some truth in this approach, though the truth, when overstated, tends to overshadow another dimension of the troubled relationship.
A Question from a young Latin teacher. Henle asks that the students learn to diagram sentences in Latin. How helpful do you think this visual division of grammatical parts is for early and early-intermediate students? Much depends on the sort of students you have and what you expect to achieve. Fr. Henle learned Latin before the Second World War, at a time when an analytical and structuralist approach was all the rage both in linguistics and in teaching English. While the earliest method of diagramming goes back to the late 1840’s, the system really took off when it was visually...
He says nothing, because there is nothing he can say. He has no excuse, because he has not conformed to the required custom and prefigures, therefore, those who hear the call to Christ but refuse to do what is required, such as seek baptism, go to Church, lead a life in accordance with the moral law He taught.

This murder of English and logic is being practiced by academics throughout the 50 states. It results in a professor, testifying in the Senate, who has to ask what the word “exculpatory” means. It results in hundreds of thousands of self-styled intellectuals who ridicule a successful businessman-turned-President who has that particle of common sense they will never have
This essay on the Lega Nord was published in February of 1993, after I spend considerable time with members of the Lega and had secured a long interview (followed by subsequent briefer meetings) with Umberto Bossi. Now that the Lega is once again in the ruling coalition and facing the wrath of the EU for cracking down on Third World immigration, it seems a good time to take a second look.
“If you can read this,” goes a popular bumper sticker, “thank a teacher.” And if a bumper sticker is all you can read, and if your idea of citizenship is to vote for the politician who promises the most, you can thank a teacher for that too.
Community control of schools run by dedicated teachers who looked after each child individually runs counter to the modern assumption that every human endeavor can be turned into a science. Every real “science” requires a theoretical framework, hence the need in educationism for theories of cognitive development and child psychology. Even the acts of learning and teaching must be analyzed, broken down into their components, tested, measured, and graphed with all sorts of coefficients and Greek letters that really mean very little more than up and down, more and less. In the years when I was reading grant proposals...
