You may have seen a recent article in Insidehiread.com that began, Wyoming Catholic College has a lot of unusual things about it, each enough to merit a story in itself.

Wyoming Catholic is a conservative Catholic college that educates students in the great books and Catholic tradition.

It also teaches horsemanship and banned cell phones on campus. I love that.

And it turned down federal funding.

President Glenn Arbery describes the mission this way.

This college is engaged in deep ways with

the agony of a culture that has lost its spiritual center. We're adventurous and poetic and deeply

Its Catholic identity builds upon Thomas Aquinas and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church

and engaging with God in the Wilderness. Find out more at wyomingcatholic.edu.

read the first sentence out of this particular article and let you amplify.

Advocates are attempting to smuggle training in leftist activism into K-12 schooling under the guise of civics.

Okay, what's going on?
