While deliberately steering clear of the public vs. private school=20

posted a couple of days ago. She quoted from the Public Conversations=20
Project, with one quote being "Partisans develop a virtuous image of=20
themselves and a demonic image of their adversaries." Sounds rather=20
applicable here. I count myself among the offenders. Many of us seem =

their stand on this issue. We are all more than just our belief in this =
singular topic. At a time when our country, of which we are all =
citizens,=20
faces crises that could make the Cuban Missile Crisis seem like a walk =
in=20

agnostic public school and 1912 building supporter. I'm also a baseball =

Lord of the Rings trilogy, and yes, I'm aware of Tolkien's =
Christiantity. =20
Dale Courtney is certainly more than a libertarian private school =

Heck, we might even have similar interests that we'd enjoy discussing. =
