  1. The success sequence is a lovely way to pretend the societal supports of the 50’s and 60’s still exist while sneaking in some religious nonsense. Married couples with two people working can’t afford kids these days, and this will not change that.

  2. The US, including many part of Indiana, are diverse ethnically and culturally. Focusing on classical western literature, art and philosophy excludes that of 80% of the world’s population. Schools should be a place to learn about tolerance of thought, religion,, culture, etc. One does not have to agree with all you learn but it will help sone understand how and why one has the thoughts and opinions that they have.

    Those with only a classical Western civilization education will be behind at many colleges and universities that seek a diversity of thought and tolerance of others. In discussions, it is best to know and understand another individual’s thinking to be able to support your own opinions.

  3. so are there any studies of how students who passed the CLT have fared at IU, Purdue, Notre Dame, Nortwestern, The Ohio State, Harvard, Yale or any other university in the top 100 or so colleges and universites in the US? Let’s see those numbers before we decide upon the validity of this test as an evaluation of likelihood of success in college. And are there any correlational studies regarding results on this test and the SAT or ACT? Is this just a case of prepared students do well on whichever exam they are given?

  4. PragerU, one of the largest purveyors of right wing propaganda and nonsense is a promoter of CLT, and that’s pretty much all you need to know about it.
