The Lessons We’re Not Learning From Nikole Hannah-Jones (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m going to be impatient and blunt: Nikole Hannah-Jones’s daughter did not fail to learn fractions because she and her classmates were black. Her teacher did not repeatedly fail to show up to work because the school was segregated. Neither did her assignments go ungraded because affluent children attended school elsewhere. The report cards and grades she received that concealed her elementary-level deficiencies were not caused by insufficient funding. These failures—all of them—were evidence of
Before Classical Education, There Was New Criticism (opens the original)

Read excerpt
I was flattered to be invited earlier this summer to deliver a commencement address for a small group of homeschool graduates and their families not far from where I live in upstate New York.
