Educate the Educators; Catechize the Catechists - Vancouver Synod Study Commission on Teaching the FaithEducating in the Jesuit Tradition - Robert Spitzer, S.J.Frequently our students come into the university domain thinking that all opinions are equally valid.

If this remark strikes the average American as merely a bit of fancy, that is because education here today suffers from an unprecedented amount of aimlessness and confusion. Read more... Education language: a lesson in confusion - Julie Smyth‘Edspeak’ baffles parents. One example, “Engage in the process of reflection” — translation: think.

Enough Already with Kid Gloves - Christina Hoff SommersPurple is replacing red as the color of choice for teachers. Why, you may ask?

Evangelizing Young Adults - The Most Reverend Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.Over the past five decades, we've moved from a culture permeated by religious faith to a culture that seems increasingly indifferent or cynical toward religion in general and Christianity in particular. Read more... Even atheists should read the Bible - Reverend William IngramRecently, I was asked to speak at a local mother’s group. I am a minister, but as it was not a church-based gathering, the organizers had asked me to address the topic of the spiritual life of kids in as “non-religious” a manner as possible. Read more... Everyday Graces: A Child's Book of Good Manners - Karen SantorumKaren Santorum writes that this anthology "grew out of the frustration of not being able to find a book on manners that instructs through stories rather than by rules of dos and don'ts." Each of her selections has been tried and tested on her own children, and each is introduced and concluded by her own thoughtful commentary. The result is an informality and intimacy that is inviting and infectious. Read more... Examination of Conscience — for teenagers - Deacon Douglas McManamanAn examination of conscience especially pertinent to teenagers. Read more... Faculty Clubs and Church Pews - William J. StuntzThe past few months have seen a lot of talk about red and blue America, mostly by people on one side of the partisan divide who find the other side a mystery.

Fanatical Secularism - Charles L. GlennThe Supreme Court’s majority opinion in the Cleveland voucher case, Zelman v.

Farewell to Judgment - Roger ScrutonThe sciences aim to explain the world: they build theories that are tested through experiment, and which describe the workings of nature and the deep connections between cause and effect.
