Title: Patriarchal Hooey
Review: I was looking into classical christian homeschooling at one point, because I thought that it might have someting to do with re-establishing the rigor of earlier forms of instruction. After looking at people like Wilson at thought better of it. Much of what is called classical christian education is like this: worship of a bizarre fantasy of the past (espcially the old South and its pompous, lazy aristoracy) mixed with enough Latin, Logic, and Rhetoric to to make the students and parents feel superior to all those public school kids who waste their time learning the ideals of democracy. I will give this to Wilson: unlike many fundamentalists, he's pretty open about his belief in patriarchy. The only thing scarier than this guy are the people who idolize him. His ideas about manhood have nothing to do Jesus or christianity, and his ideas about women are downright evil.
