I recently had breakfast with some conservative wealthy non-Christian businessman who have their kids in public schools in California. They were besides themselves on what their 9th grade daughter was witnessing.

They told me a story of how the school provided a litter box for one of her daughter's classmates who identifies as a cat. They were very serious and distraught.

They were debating on pulling there children out as it is not the education they experienced.

We got into a discussion on what education really is.

I used this very definition of paideia which I learned from you in your earlier writings. We also discussed the relationship of education and the gospel.

They appreciated the discussion but I do not think they got it.
