“There can be, therefore, no true education without moral culture, and no true moral culture without Christianity. The very power of the teacher in the school-room is either moral or it is a degrading force. But he can show the child no other moral basis for it than the Bible. Hence my argument is as perfect as clear. The teacher must be Christian. But the American Commonwealth has promised to have no religious character. Then it cannot be teacher.” ChildrenCharacterShowsSchoolChristianCultureForceReligiousPerfectRoomsEducationMoralChristianityClearTeacherArgumentBasesCommonwealthDegradingTrue Education Author:Robert Dabney
“One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate.

“The Psalms offer us a way of joining in a chorus of praise and prayer that has been going on for millennia and across all cultures. Not to try to inhabit them, while continuing to invent non-psalmic 'worship' based on our own feelings of the moment, risks being like a spoiled child who, taken to the summit of Table Mountain with the city and the ocean spread out before him, refuses to gaze at the view because he is playing with his Game Boy” WayTryingChildrenHas BeensMomentsFeelingsCultureGamesPrayerViewsCitiesBoysTakenRiskOffersMountainOceanWorshipPraiseTablesRefuseSpreadContinuingSummitJoiningSpoiledChorusPsalmsSpoiled ChildrenJoining In Author:N.

“No great, inspiring culture of the future can be built upon the moral principle of relativism. For at its bottom such a culture holds that nothing is better than anything else, and that all things are in themselves equally meaningless. Except for the fragments of faith (in progress, in compassion, in conscience, in hope) to which it still clings, illegitimately, such a culture teaches every one of its children that life is a tale told by an idiot, signifying nothing.” ChildrenStillsLife IsCultureCompassionMoralPrinciplesTeachProgressConscienceBuiltAll ThingsBottomTalesIdiotMeaninglessFragmentsRelativismMoral PrinciplesSignifying Author:Michael Novak
“The weekly cartoons, as were my plays, came from a sense of criticism, criticism of the times, critical of the culture, of our manners and attitudes towards each other. The children's books come from the reverse. They're more supportive, since we're living in a time where we talk more about kids and do less, we talk about balancing the budget and we do it by cutting education.” ChildrenBookPlayKidsCultureAttitudeCuttingCriticismCriticalMannersBudgetsReverseCartoonSupportiveChildren's Books Author:Jules Feiffer

“The Arts are fundamental resources through which the world is viewed, meaning is created, and the mind developed.
