I mean it all.
fatal to humanity in the long run: feminism, homosexuality, Islam, relentless division by race, promotion of grievance studies, open borders.
That's how I see Classical Education.
I would agree with all of that except Shakespeare and the Bible. I like Shakespeare, but this being America, I'd favor American authors who wrote in American English, including especially the founders; Ben Franklin should be read more widely than he is. Similarly, having read the entire KJV, it's mostly a snooze. Reading Numbers is like reading a phone book. Also, if a public school requires reading the bible, then it would need to set that in a context of multiple religious texts, e.g. Koran and Bhagavad Gita, so it would mean devoting more time to religion at the expense of other topics. I think it's better to promote a shared American heritage.
I don't want to argue with you.
I just don't think homosexuality is a good thing for humanity in the long run.
It's also inseparable from American Heritage (Puritans, Anti-Slavery, so-called Temperance)
Greco-Roman Mythology is equally important not just for the Ancient Writers/Artists, but once kids start getting into the Renaissance.
Those are good points. The founders had read Greco-Roman tradition, and the KJV, so it would make sense to combine those as part of understanding American heritage. Likewise they are part of western art and literature, including the Renaissance. So, it wouldn't be about telling people to believe in Zeus and Mars or Jehovah and the saints, it would be about providing a grounding to understand the political and artistic heritage of western culture.
I don't care much about conservatism per se, but I do think traditional values became traditional exactly because they helped us survive into the next generation
the current identity-politics left promotes is fatal to humanity in the long run: feminism, homosexuality, Islam, relentless division by race, promotion of grievance studies, open borders.
Why we are so lucky to have Trump as President
I'm relatively conservative which is why TRump and TRumpism is [sic] repugnant to me.
I'm a liberal.
I'm trolling the Trump defenders....
Can't you let me troll them for a minute ?
I swear its hilarious how much the left projects.

Every item on this list has been accomplished. The problem is the overshoot. For example, "Asylum for Refugees" does not mean unfettered illegal immigration where caravans of people fleeing poverty should be let in.

I just don't think homosexuality is a good thing for humanity in the long run. It's just one more vice like many others.

is a modern invention.
Mostly....
I’m just gonna propose a possibility.
I will note that Patrick has evolved politically partially as a result of the unreasonableness of the left.

THe massive decrease in world standing, royally messed up institutions, extreme political polarization (far more than with Obama), and racial tensions, were all just icing on the cake for the Trumpeters.
And Leftists have messed up our institutions of higher learning to a degree where they may not recover without a massive purge of perhaps 75% of all faculty and administration
And Leftists have messed up our institutions of higher learning to a degree where they may not recover without a massive purge of perhaps 75% of all faculty and administration. Certainly all the “studies” courses need to be scrapped as they are just causing division and teaching people that they are victims for life which is no service to anyone.
worldview isn't taught other than a racist, sexist, etc. caricature.
The idea that homosexuality is somehow innate and exclusive is a modern invention.
Caricature like the stupid Green Frog that is chasing Hillary ?
Eliminate the intellectuals and anyone capable or willing to have intelligent thought and not willing to blindly follow the leadership.

The Democrats are so self righteous and ANGRY! Loosen up and have some fun. The Country is doing well!
