Dateline: August 29, In the Year of our Lord, 2022 There are a handful of ironies in this week's Classical Christian Times. The Miseducation of America was created by Pete Hegseth, the FOX producer John Case, and myself. The story centered on the Western Christian Paideia. Typically, FOX would look for something advocating for "patriot-education." But Hegseth quickly realized that what we think of as "patriotic education" was really a progressive ploy to pull America away from the true source of strength in our Republic -- the Western Christian Paideia. Thus, both the documentary and the book,
I just devoured your book and am sending copies to others. What a triumph you and Pete accomplished. I taught in the School of Logic for 4 years in a classical Christian academy in Albuquerque. Did you know that you and your wife have soul-mates? My daughter Celeste Green who just began a very successful classical Christian School, Axiom, in Albuquerque, became aware of The Lost Tools of Learning while visiting friends in the United Arab Emirates about 15 years ago. Celeste and her husband Noel returned to their home in Albuquerque, found that there was a new Classical Christian school starting in the area, and even though they did not have children of their own, they volunteered for a year at the school because they were committed to this ideal. With a strong background in education, she was a teacher, then Academic Dean, at that school for years before beginning Axiom. God has blessed them with three extraordinary children as well, who are great examples of interesting people who even in Grammar school can converse about the classics, abstract ideas, and the Lord.

What do you mean by "classical"? Incorporating Greek and Roman philosophy?
My wife and I spent 4 years in a Messianic fellowship. We learned that the 4th church council did not invite Messianic bishops, because they wanted to adopt theology (icons) that they knew that the Messianics would object. Since then, the western church has had a serious problem with syncretism, which includes the hidden worship of Diana of Ephesus ("Virgin" Mary). So, I am concerned that your "classical" is a hidden syncretism.

This is excellent, David. Thank you.
