JESUITICAL:  I learned yesterday that 14 Senators, 48 Congressmen, and three Supreme Court Justices attended Jesuit schools or colleges.  That’s a pretty good record for those schools.  Alas, their traditional reputation for academic rigor has been on the decline for a while (while their reputation for mindless indoctrination is on the upswing).  Today, most are at least as woke as the rest of schools and usually more so.  For example, at Phoenix’s Brophy Prep, it isn’t enough to require teachers to be “anti-racist,” even the weight room assistant has to be anti-racist.

Parents of public-school students have been birddogging our out-of-control public schools for a while now, and they’ve had some successes.  They often have weapons that parents of private-school students don’t—Freedom of Information Acts and open-meetings laws.

Dan Maher has undertaken to help expose Jesuit schools.  If you’re interested in the subject, check out his website here and his Substack here.

Dan quotes Kenneth Clark at the top of his web site: “Civilization requires confidence, confidence in the society in which one lives, belief in its philosophy, belief in its laws ….”  The truth is “however complex and solid it seems,” civilization is “actually quite fragile, it can be destroyed.”    Alas.
