Classical Charter Schools as a cut flowers display.

March 18, 2024. American Christians will still go to great length to avoid naming the name of Christ outside their religion boxes, otherwise known as churches and sanctuaries. The gods of secularism has failed, and it appears that the gods of secularism has failed and it appears that the last

group to recognize this ugly fact will be the Christians who invested heavily in

secularism as a possible viable compromise. A glaring case in point is the support still given to classical

charter schools by Christians. The cut flower civilization around us is withered

and dead and so the thought arose that we should try it again, only on a smaller scale and subsidized by the bankrupt owners of the previously flourishing cutting garden.

But go outside and look, the cutting garden isn't there anymore, having been outlawed by the Warren Court. The only thing they have out back anymore

is a howling wilderness, a haunt for owls and jackals. Now I'm planning to say a number of hard things in this

post, but I can assure you that I'm not trying to be mean.

It will only seem that way. Woke supremacy. The classical school movement has really

taken off and now all kinds of people want a piece of the action. There is the

explicitly Christian

classical school movement and good for them. Doing it right they are. They should

just keep on keeping on. But there's now a burgeoning classical charter school

movement. Taxpayer supported schools with lots of Christians

involved but Christ left out. And inevitably naturally right on schedule there are

now voices demanding the incorporation of marginal voices into the classical curriculum.

In a sane world, some of those voices might even be considered as a possibility, but this is not

a sane world.

A world with no center has no business trying to refine this circumference. So considered

collectively those marginal voices should be regarded as coming from the mob on Lott's front porch.
