Schooling is now awful and racist, where before it was just awful \u2013 “progressively” so since the 1880s, when the de facto<\/em> Jesuit curriculum was supplanted by various flavors of social engineering, mainly Marxist in origin.<\/p>\n Union Jack privilege owes to the inertia of ineptitude: Henry the Eighth swiped the Church of Rome in England, then operated it as if nothing but the signage had changed. For centuries<\/em> Great Britain built wonderful Jesuitical schools everywhere it went \u2013 fortuitously ditching the Jesuits but keeping the curriculum unchanged.<\/p>\n In consequence, the children of the victims of “the colonizers” are the best-educated ordinary people on Earth. They are deeply and widely read, and they are adept at reason because they did a lot of demanding homework \u2013 knowing that their work would be checked and challenged.<\/p>\n The “privilege” granted freely to schoolchildren all over the world, wherever the Union Jack flies, costs ten grand or more a year in the U.S. \u2013 and you’re more likely to find it at Presbyterian or Lutheran schools than in Catholic parishes, by now.<\/p>\n Worth grailing for, regardless: That kind of education \u2013 the kind Loyola wanted for everyone \u2013 is an inestimable head-start in life.<\/p>\n In other news:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Housing Wire:<\/strong> Mortgage rates continue their fall, to 2.93%.<\/a><\/p>\n Redfin.com:<\/strong> More Than 31% of Homebuyers Are Looking to Move to Another Metro, With Pandemic-Driven Migration Pushing Up Prices in Popular Destinations.<\/a> Good lord, give it a rest!
