A hidebound reading list for freshmen: colleges promote a predictable ideology.

The Great Gatsby is not a great book. It drives me crazy when conservatives cite it as such.

Those Jesuits certainly know how to run a school.

I hate to say it, but sending your daughter to a Jesuit school is a terrible mistake and a waste of money. Unless she's unusually strong, you may lose her--and you'll be paying them tens of thousands of dollars to brainwash her.

And I say this as the product of 8 years of Jesuit re-education.

Exactly. I intend for the offspring to develop talents, interests and practical skills in a wide range of areas. Part of our homeschooling aims at unlocking the nature of the child and directing them in their path toward independence and self-reliance. The ultimate practical goal is to unleash young people that get what they need from the system to achieve THEIR goals - not to be processed for a slot in state economy. Business training along with their strong suits may be better in the long run than any kind of B.A. or the usual collegiate BS.
