Snow Day

February 2, 2014 by Reynolds

Course Announcement concerning:

Early Sacred Music
America’s Artistic Legacy (Semester 2)

The Hangouts scheduled for Monday, February 3, will not take place because of an ice and snow storm. Our friends in Minnesota or Wyoming can laugh at how little it takes to incapacitate Texas,but we won’t be able to get off the hill and to a paved road to get to the Hangout ourselves until Tuesday, when they say it will melt.

We apologize for any inconvenience. But you can keep on working with the course materials found on the course pages within this site (links above).

And Then There's This . . .

Jonathan Turley, The Fight Over Parental Rights Just Got Primal. “Few would believe that sending our children to a public school means we have transferred the most fundamental parental rights to ‘experts’ on rearing our children.”

Roger Kimball, What the Right Gets Wrong About Art. “Why do so many people feel that if something is regarded as art, they ‘have to go along with it,’ no matter how offensive, foolish, or corrosive it might be?“

Peter Wood, After College: The Coming Cultural Collapse of Higher Education. “Students graduate with a veneer of knowledge rather than a core. An increasingly obsolescent institution has wedded itself to an increasingly noisome cultural stance.”

Anthony Esolen, Heap Songs Upon Their Heads. “We are the most beauty-starved people, I am persuaded, who have ever trod the earth.”
