Seducers, Flatterers, Sorcerers, and more! Dcn. Harrison Garlick is joined by Noah Tyler, CFO of the Classic Learning Test, and Gabriel Blanchard, a staff writer for CLT, to discuss the first part of the 8th Circle: Simple Fraud (Cantos 18-25).Check out thegreatbookspodcast.com for more information.Check out our written GUIDE to Dante's Inferno: 80+ Questions and Answer.FROM THE GUIDE:53. What happens in the Eighth Circle of Hell: Simple Fraud (Canto 18)The Eighth Circle of Hell holds the souls of those King Minos found guilty of simple fraud and is composed of “ten stone ravines called Malebolge (Evil Pockets), and across each bolgia is an arching bridge.”[1] Each of the ten bolgias (pits, ditches, pockets, etc.) is filled with souls guilty of a different species of simple fraud: (1) panders and seducers (2) flatters (3) simoniacs (4) sorcerers (5) barrators (6) hypocrites (7) thieves (8) deceivers (9) sowers of discord and (10) falsifiers. Each bolgia in Malebolgia exhibits a different contrapasso.54. What happens in the first ditch (Canto 18)?After leaving Geryon, the Pilgrim observes the souls in the first ditch. Here, “two files of naked souls walked on the bottom” with each line walking a different direction.[2] The Pilgrim also notes, “I saw horned devils with enormous whips lashing the backs of shades with cruel delight.”[3] The souls here are pimps or panders in one line and seducers in the other. Notably, Dante the Pilgrim sees Jason the Argonaut suffering amongst the seducers.[4] Notice, however, that these seducers are not those who fell into passion, like Francisca, but rather those who act with malice to deceive others. It is the malice of malevolent nature of these sins that distinguish them from the incontinent sins.55. What happens in the second ditch (Canto 18)?Leaving the first bolgia (ditch), the Pilgrim and Virgil come upon the souls of the flatters suffering in the second ditch. The Pilgrim observes, “Now we could hear the shades in the next pouch whimpering, making snorting grunting souls… from a steaming stench below, the banks were coated with a slimy mold that suck to them like glue, disgusting to behold and worse to smell.”[5] Here, grunting in a ditch of excrement, are the flatterers. The contrapasso of the second ditch invites a stark juxtaposition between the honeyed words of flattery and the sordid reality of their deception. The Pilgrim makes this quite evident in his observation of Thais: “that repulsive and disheveled tramp scratching herself with shitty fingernails, spreading her legs while squatting up and down.”[6] Repulsed by Thais, Virgil and the Pilgrim move on. It should be noted, however, that this flattery is a malicious flattery intended to deceive.56. How is flattery a worst sin than lust, murder, or suicide?
When you think of college entrance exams, the first one that almost certainly comes to mind is, of course, the SAT (with the ACT close behind), which has dominated the field for over a century. But there is a new test on the scene - The Classic Learning Test (CLT), honoring the enduring tradition of classical education. And, its catching on across the nation. In this conversation with Jeremy Tate, founder and CEO of the CLT, you'll hear the enlightening story of how Jeremy was inspired to implement an alternative to College Board's SAT behemoth. Jeremy explains the influence of classical education on his development and the pivotal points that led him to create CLT, prompting students to engage with classic and traditional texts rather than modern, often ideologically driven materials. Discover this new exam on the old ways – the CLT, which now serves around 250,000 students and is accepted by approximately 300 colleges, including major institutions in Florida.
On this episode of Anchored, Soren is joined by Allen Mendenhall, the associate dean and Grady Rozier professor for the Sorell College of Business at Troy University, where he also directs the Manuel H. Johnson Center for Political Economy. Mendenhall recently published an article in 1819 News entitled “Alabama Needs the Classic Learning Test.” The two discuss the problems with American education today, highlighting how educational vandalism and social engineering confuse the moral aims and core objectives of schooling. They dive into the College Board's contribution to eroding educational standards. They conclude by talking about some of the hopeful changes and initiatives that they are seeing on the academic landscape.
This week's episode of Anchored features a speech delivered by Jeremy Tate, CEO of the Classic Learning Test, at the National Summit on Civics in Catholic Education at Benedictine College. Jeremy talks about the story of Catholic education in America. Jeremy highlights the challenges faced by Catholic schools today, including declining enrollment and the influence of secular educational standards, while also presenting a hopeful vision for revitalization through distinct Catholic identity and practices.

Education is about more than college admissions and job prospects—it's about the formation of the human soul and cultivating in our children a love for the true, the good, and the beautiful. Yet, we still need reliable ways to measure learning. If grades and test performance aren't the focus, how do we realistically assess academic progress? As even colleges move away from traditional standardized tests, finding appropriate and reliable methods for evaluation is more important than ever. In this episode, we explore some of the best tools for measuring progress both in the classroom and at home with Soren Schwab, the VP of Partnerships at the Classic Learning Test.

Let me know what you thought of the episode! Send a Text Message! I get asked very frequently about how homeschoolers can prepare for and take standardized tests (especially SAT, ACT, and CLT) successfully. In todays episode featuring Regina Gravrok, the Homeschool Partnership Manager at the Classic Learning Test (CLT) and a homeschool graduate, we cover how homeschoolers can not only conquer college entry exams, but use them to make their college dreams a reality. The Classic Learning Test is "hacking" the teach-for-the test method that dominates conventional schools today. There is no special book or curriculum to prepare for the test. You prepare by having a good education - one rooted in the ideas of traditional, classic education and one that focuses on the formation of the whole student: mind, body, and spirit. We discuss all of this in more detail throughout the interview! Thank you to Regina Gravrok and the CLT for being a part of the podcast!

In this episode, Lisa, Rebecca, David, and Becky discuss:A critique of the information and misinformation of the latest NACAC Annual Survey of Colleges. The role of ACT and SAT scores even beyond the admissions process. The impact of Institutional Priorities in the admission of students.Colleges have differing expectations for various majors, including highly competitive majors. Whether the ability to pay affects students' admission rates.Key Takeaways: To understand what schools seek for admissions, the common data set is more important than the NACAC survey for the colleges your student is considering.The survey does not reflect admission by major but is critical for your student to understand.College is more than just getting in; it is also about affording college. Test-optional admissions help the most wealthy students and the least wealthy students. It hurts those in the middle class the most. Institutional priorities, like the ability to pay, influence admission but are not covered in the survey. “We always have to take these surveys with a grain of salt. I encourage families to do their homework, to work with professionals, or to work closely with their school counselor to really understand the nuances of college admissions because until things change, it continues to be very opaque.” – Rebecca Stuart-OrlowskiAbout Becky Priest: Becky Priest is the College Counselor at The Cambridge School, where she has overseen the design and build-out of their college counseling program. She also has over 20 years of college financial aid experience at all levels. She is currently serving on the Classic Learning Test's Board of Academic Advisors.About David Blobaum: David Blobaum is a nationally recognized expert on standardized exams and college admissions.

To read is human. Even as literacy rates or the quality of that literacy make us nervous for the future, the act of reading looks like it's somewhere near the essence of what it means to be human. Because reading doesn't end, or even start, with books. Reading is this search for meaning. A turning and tuning of our senses outward. Looking for symbols, looking for signs of life. It's the longing for a message in a bottle, in hopes of discovering, making, and living in a shared meaning together. Jessica Hooten Wilson (Pepperdine University) and Matthew J Smith (Hildegard College) join Evan Rosa to discuss the joys and perils of reading, how to make young readers, how to teach and cultivate mature readers in the university context, and the significance of reading as a Christian spiritual practice.Help the Yale Center for Faith & Culture meet a $10,000 matching challenge for podcast production; visit faith.yale.edu/give to donate today.About Jessica Hooten WilsonJessica Hooten Wilson is the Fletcher Jones Endowed Chair of Great Books at Pepperdine University and formerly Louise Cowan Scholar in Residence at the University of Dallas. She is the author of several books, most recently Reading for the Love of God. Her book Giving the Devil his Due: Flannery O'Connor and The Brothers Karamazov received a 2018 Christianity Today book of the year in arts and culture award and The Scandal of Holiness received a 2022 Award of Merit. In 2019 she received the Hiett Prize for Humanities from the Dallas Institute of Humanities and Culture. Other awards include a Fulbright Fellowship to Prague, an NEH to study Dante in Florence, a Biola University sabbatical fellowship funded by the John Templeton Foundation, and the 2017 Emerging Public Intellectual Award. She is a Senior Fellow at The Trinity Forum.About Matthew J. SmithMatthew J. Smith is Founder and President of Hildgard College in Southern California. He holds a Ph.D. in Literature from the University of Southern California, an M.A. from the University of Connecticut, and a B.A. from Biola University. He taught for ten years at Azusa Pacific University before founding Hildegard College. His scholarship is on medieval and renaissance literature and especially the works of Shakespeare, Milton, Herbert, Donne, and late medieval drama. Dr. Smith is the author and editor of four books: Performance and Religion in Early Modern England: Stage, Cathedral, Wagon, Street (Notre Dame), Face to Face in Shakespearean Drama: Ethics, Performance, Philosophy (Edinburgh), Literature and Religious Experience: Beyond Belief and Unbelief (Bloomsbury), and a recently finished manuscript: Shakespearean Recognitions: Philosophies of the Post-Tragic. He is also an editor of the journal Christianity & Literature and has guest-edited three special issues: The Sacramental Text Reconsidered, Sincerity, a Literary History, and The Future of Christianity and Literature in Literary Studies.Dr. Smith founded Hildegard College in 2022 with the conviction that higher education needs a reset. Where typical universities are growing ever larger into multi-versities, abandoning the traditional liberal arts and giving students a predominantly anonymous learning experience, Dr. Smith argues that the future of quality education, especially Christian education, is focused, tight-knit, rigorous, and recommitted to the classics of the liberal arts tradition. His vision for Hildegard College is to create an environment where young people can explore the riches of the classical tradition while also exploring and gaining experience in different areas of work—part monastery and part startup incubator. Mentorship, deep learning, and personal formation are the bedrock of a classical education.Matt Smith lives in Fullerton, CA with his wife and three children. He serves on the boards of Veritas Classical Academy and of the Classic Learning Test. When he isn't teaching, he cooks, plays soccer, trains in jiu jitsu, mountain bikes, plays with his dog, and writes.Show NotesHelp the Yale Center for Faith & Culture meet a $10,000 matching challenge for podcast production; visit faith.yale.edu/give to donate today.Production NotesThis podcast featured Jessica Hooten Wilson and Matthew J SmithEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie BridgeA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

The report offers high-level definitions and recommendations aimed at educators and administrators.Florida's public university system has approved the use of a new and controversial college entrance exam known as the Classic Learning Test (CLT).Teaching History: Learning, Unlearning, and Building Context in the ClassroomThe study of the past is an essential component of a well-rounded education and a gateway to meaningful civic participation. Why, then, do 85% of eighth-graders score below proficient in U.S. history? Amid shifting sentiments on research, misinformation, and the impact of mass media on the historical record, we're tackling the subject of how history is taught at both the K-12 and postsecondary levels.

Throwback to our first episode recorded with a live audience: Dr. Cornel West on James Baldwin! I am pleased to share a very special episode of Sacred and Profane Love, our first episode recorded in front of a live audience, with the amazing Dr. Cornel West! The context for this episode is that the Classic Learning Test (which has sponsored several episodes this season, and on whose board of academic advisors I happily serve) held its third annual higher education summit in beautiful Annapolis, Maryland, and invited me to record an episode for the educators who had gathered for three wonderful days to discuss aspects of the summit's theme: "Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” The result is the conversation that is episode 41, in which Cornel West and I discuss James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time and Go Tell it on the Mountain. Cornel argues that Baldwin is a “Socratic prophet” and a “love warrior”, and that if we only approach him through a political lens we will miss or misunderstand so much of what he has to say. Cornel helpfully traces out some of Baldwin's main influences: From Conrad and James to Mahalia Jackson and Ray Charles, but argues that, in the end, Go Tell it on the Mountain is a profoundly Augustinian novel. As always, I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Welcome to Reviving Virtue, a podcast where we confront the urgent challenges of today's world by exploring the crucial role of creating a coherent moral narrative for our time. I'm your host, Jeffrey Anthony, on a quest to address liberalism's quandary and pave the way towards a more unified society. Join me on this journey as we delve into ethics, philosophy, and community-building, seeking to foster a common understanding that promotes human flourishing and harmony.In the second episode of our 6-part series journeying through John Dewey's "The Public and Its Problems," we delve deeper into Chapter 2, "Discovery of the State." We examine Dewey's critical perspective on the relationship between the public, the state, and the government, challenging traditional notions of minimum wage and the controversial role of the private sector. We discuss the rise of neoliberalism and emphasize the need for creativity and intentionality from our public and government, drawing from Dewey's argument for the necessity of public regulation. As we navigate through Dewey's philosophies, we caution against conceptualizing the state and government as separate entities, reinforcing his emphasis on viewing society as a complex network of associations rather than a homogeneous entity. Our discussion illuminates the implications of Dewey's perspective in our current political and social climate, specifically regarding the rise of social media and its impact on political divisions. Tune in to engage with Dewey's critical insights and their modern-day relevance.Some Topics Discussed:John DeweyPragmatismEmploy AmericaCharles TaylorBuffered SelfPorous selfClassic Learning TestSeparation of Church and StateThe Jazz FormAABA FormThe Book: The Public and its ProblemsTwitter: https://twitter.com/Reviving_VirtueContact: revivingvirtue@gmail.comMusic by Jeffrey Anthony: https://open.spotify.com/album/1Q9wJCeuUa3wrHrKKtsTFW?si=NeyPJ-dzRBeWfHhYDPgvvwPatreon page: https://www.patreon.com/RevivingVirtueSubstack: https://revivingvirtue.substack.com/
The DeSantis administration is remaking New College of Florida into a version of the Christian focused Hillsdale College and developing curriculum for a SAT alternative Christian and Western tradition-based test called the "Classic Learning Test."
Can tests actually inspire students rather than just stressing them out? Here, Robert talks with Jeremy Tate, founder and CEO of the Classic Learning Test, an education company that provides assessments that are intellectually richer and more rigorous than traditional standardized tests and college entrance exams. Jeremy discusses where standardized testing has gone wrong, the virtues and future of classical education, what sets CLT exams apart from other standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, and why so many colleges are gladly awarding scholarships based on students' CLT exam scores. After the conversation with Jeremy, Robert uses the classical tools of learning to help listeners understand Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News and, in the “Classical Crypto” segment, considers why the federal government is selling its Bitcoin.

AMDG. Every Kolbe student gets a rigorous experience, so how can high school parents best decide between core and honors courses? That's the topic of the day with Everett Buyarski, Megan Lengyel, and Tony Guzzaldo. The group describes qualitative and quantitative differences between the various course offerings (spoiler alert: there are a lot more of the former than the latter), highlights how simply giving students more to read doesn't automatically increase academic rigor, and gives practical recommendations on how to challenge students without overburdening them. Also listen in for details on student awards, National Honors Society eligibility requirements, and dual enrollment considerations. Mrs. Lengyel describes the awards established to recognize student achievement in their courses of study at Kolbe Academy. Detailed information about the awards is available here.

On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: Due to lack of funding, the Aerostat Program, the unmanned blimps that border patrol uses to protect the nation, is being cut. President Joe Biden traveled to the Sunshine State today warning voters there that the GOP wants to cut critical government programs including Social Security and Medicare. This comes as Republicans say this is NOT their intention at all. Meanwhile, an organization that equips many Catholic schools with standardized tests is under scrutiny. CEO and Founder of the Classic Learning Test, Jeremy Tate, joins to discuss whether the NWEA's ideologies are trickling down into our Catholic schools and classrooms. And a TV station in Belgium recently discovered a lost interview with the Catholic priest considered the founder of the Big Bang Theory. Astronomer and Historian with the Vatican Observatory, Chris Graney, joins to share his reaction when he heard about the discovery of this interview. This Saturday marks the 10th anniversary of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. EWTN Vatican Producer and Correspondent for CNA Deutsch, Rudolf Gehrig, joins to tell us where he is at in Germany right now and why it is so important for the faithful. Finally this evening, on a frigid college campus off the shores of Lake Superior, sits a chapel made of ice.

The classic Learning test (CLT). We all, in one way or another, have been tested. Tests are designed to help us to know where we are, but they can also act as goal and provide a marker of sorts in our progress toward an education or knowledge about something. Tests and testing are also an important passage way toward the next level of our education as we learn and grow. We have no doubt heard of the site to S.A.T test that many universities require for admission. Students and parents alike sweat over the scores obtained on these tests. Why the Classic Learning test? Well, what if these tests were flawed or even, by design, could lead students away from a specific type of education and in another direction entirely. A test is something one prepares for and tunes their learning accordingly toward the end goal which is to attain a high score. Tests move us toward learning required for a successful test result. To use and athlete analogy, an arm wrestler would prepare differently from the test of facing another arm wrestler, than the way a tennis player or hockey player would prepare for their opponent. Education is no different, students prepare for the questions they are going to be asked. But what if those questions don't line up with a classic type of education? With me today to talk about tests is the inventor of the classic learning test, Jeremy Tate. VISIT CLT EXAM

It's Thursday, December 22nd, A.D. 2022. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian Muslims killed 40 Christians last week Muslim Fulani herdsmen killed 40 people in a Christian-majority part of northern Nigeria over the last week. In one attack, Pastor Yusuf Gan of the Evangelical Church Winning All, was severely beaten in front of his family. His wife and children were then abducted. Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said, “These renewed attacks are occurring in the run up to the Christmas holidays, raising concerns of a possible campaign to disrupt the festive season in this predominantly Christian area.” British pro-life leader arrested for praying outside abortion mill British police arrested Isabel Vaughn-Spruce, the director of March for Life UK, last Thursday for praying silently outside an abortion mill. The thought-police received a tip-off from a bystander concerned that the pro-life activist might be praying in her mind. Local authorities have established censorship zones around abortion mills to keep pro-lifers away. Police also banned Vaughn-Spruce from praying publicly beyond the censorship zone. She said, “It's abhorrently wrong that I was searched, arrested, interrogated by police and charged simply for praying in the privacy of my own mind.” In Psalm 94:20-21, the Psalmist asks, “Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with [the Lord]? They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.” Ukrainian President addresses Congress Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Joe Biden at the White House yesterday. In his first trip outside Ukraine since Russia invaded in February, Zelenskyy addressed Congress. ZELENSKYY: “Against all odds, and doom and gloom, the Ukraine didn't fall. Ukraine is alive and kicking. (applause)We have no fear. Nor should anyone in the world have it. “Ukraine gained this victory, and it gives us courage which inspires the entire world. Europe is now stronger and more independent than ever. The Russian tyranny has lost control over us.” U.S. Congress set to fund $45 billion more of aid to Ukraine Lawmakers included a $45 billion package for Ukraine aid in a must-pass $1.7 trillion government funding bill, reports ABC News. Congress has until midnight Friday to pass the bill and avoid a shutdown. Just prior to Zelenskyy's visit, the U.S. confirmed it would send its famed Patriot surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine. Ukraine vs. Russian Orthodox priests in country Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials are cracking down on Orthodox Churches in the country that have ties to Russia. Ukraine's Security Council recently seized the assets of seven senior Orthodox clerics and placed them under a travel ban. Odessa Texas next sanctuary for the unborn Odessa, Texas is the sixty-second city in the U.S. to become a Sanctuary City for the Unborn. Last Tuesday, the city council voted 6-1 in favor of a Sanctuary City for the Unborn ordinance. Mayor Javier Joven welcomed the vote after working for two years to get the measure passed. Councilman Steve Thompson was the lone vote against protecting the babies. To politely register your objection with Councilman Thompson's vote you can email him at sthompson@odessa-tx.gov or call 432-335-3276. The ordinance bans the killing of unborn babies as well as abortion-inducing drugs within the city limits. The measure prohibits performing abortions on Odessa residents regardless of where it would happen. And the city cannot enter into contracts with organizations that fund abortion. Romans 13:3 says, “For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same.” Elon Musk to step down as CEO Tech billionaire Elon Musk will be stepping down from CEO at Twitter after asking users on Sunday. Fifty-seven percent voted for Musk to step down in the Twitter poll. Musk still owns the company, but said he will find someone else to become CEO. Twitter reveals FBI paid millions to suppress anti-Democrat tweets Meanwhile, Musk continues to release disturbing internal Twitter documents, exposing how the company operated before he bought it. The latest Twitter files show the FBI paid $3.4 million to the social media company to suppress negative tweets about Joe Biden and the Democrats. Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the Incoming House Oversight Committee Chairman, told CBN News that investigating the situation will be a top priority for Republicans. COMER: “Anyone that cares about free speech should be outraged. Whether you're Republican or Democrat, this has to stop. This is going to be a top priority for the Republican majority in January.” Home sales down 35% U.S. homes sales were down 7% in November compared with October. They're down 35% compared with a year ago. It's the tenth consecutive month of home sale declines. However, median home sale prices have increased 3.5% to $370,700 compared to last year. Homeschoolers score higher And finally, analysis by Houston Christian University professor Lisa Treleaven found homeschool students score better than their peers on the Classic Learning Test. The standardized college entrance exam is grounded in the liberal arts tradition and uses classic texts as opposed to the contemporary writings used in SAT and ACT tests. Homeschool students earned mean scores of 78. Private school and charter school students scored lower at 75 and 73 respectively. Public school students scored the lowest at 66. Treleaven noted, “This is consistent with prior research findings of superior academic performance of homeschool students as compared to other school types.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Thursday, December 22nd in the year of our Lord 2022.

AMDG. In this replay of a conversation from April 2021, Jordan and Bonnie visit with Jeremy Tate, president of the Classic Learning Test. He explains how high-stakes tests drive and dictate academic focus in America, how he decided to go up against the behemoth that is the College Board in designing a different kind of college admission test, and how he's challenged the societal status quo that excludes great thinkers like C.S. Lewis and John Paul the Great from the literature that test takers must examine. The group also discusses the immense time spent in test prep and what messages are sent by the materials studied in that time. Jeremy describes how the goal of classical education isn't to make people better employees—it's to make them better humans—but how the best humans often end up being the best employees, too. He reminds listeners that tests give a snapshot into key academic areas at a given point in time but say nothing about the kind of person that a student is. And he distills his goals into a succinct call to action: read good books, read them a lot, and enjoy them. Kolbe families always receive 50% off CLT exams by using the code KOLBE50.

In this episode, I speak with Jeremy Tate, the founder of the Classic Learning Test about school testing, curriculum, and the classical versus industrial models of education. Jeremy argues that the current testing regime of the SAT and ACT have a tremendous influence on the curriculum taught in public and private schools. They promote a utilitarian vision of learning and drive students away from the classical Western tradition and serious reflection on what makes a good life. In response, Jeremy and his team developed the Classic Learning Test not only to be a better, more rigorous test, but to positively influence the curriculum toward more serious reading, and introduce students to the classic texts of the Western Tradition and those which shaped the founding of the United States, By ignoring these texts, the current testing and curricula regimes exclude students from engagement with the tradition. One of Tate's colleagues noted that she could go from Kindergarten through a Ph.D. without reading Homer, Plato, or Shakespeare. This unfamiliarity with the tradition makes people unaware of history and complexity, unable to make distinctions, and thus more susceptible to propaganda and manipulation. It excludes the poor from opportunity and indoctrinates the elites into utilitarian and progressive ideas that they think are simply facts. As C.S. Lewis described, “10 years hence” we can find ourselves on the side of the philosophical controversy that we didn't even know was up for debate. We discuss a number of themes including The revival of classical education Whether you should go to college or not? Education and virtue Human Formation C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man Eustace Scrubb and the Chronicles of Narnia Elite students focus on test scores rather than on learning Scientists with no sense of history or complexity The problems with critical thinking The false dichotomy of Facts vs. Opinions How moral and value judgments are reduced to opinions and more.

For many homeschooling families, testing is at best a “necessary evil”; but, what if we thought of it as a tool of diagnostic assessment, a means of determining how to proceed next? What if testing gave us more to talk about, presented us with encouragement to try things a different way, or provided us with insights about skills that need more practice? Join Alec Bianco and Kimberly Farley of Classic Learning Testing as they share the best reasons to test and acquaint us with some testing options that will resonate with classical, Christian homeschoolers.

I am pleased to share a very special episode of Sacred and Profane, our first episode recorded in front of a live audience, and with the amazing Dr. Cornel West! The context for this episode is that the Classic Learning Test (which has sponsored several episodes this season, and on whose board of academic advisors I happily serve) held its third annual higher education summit in beautiful Annapolis, Maryland, and invited me to record an episode for the educators who had gathered for three wonderful days to discuss aspects of the summit's theme: Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.” The result is the conversation that is episode 41, in which Cornel West and I discuss James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time and Go Tell it on the Mountain. Cornel argues that Baldwin is a “Socratic prophet” and a “love warrior”, and that if we only approach him through a political lens we will miss or misunderstand so much of what he has to say. Cornel helpfully traces out some of Baldwin's main influences: From Conrad and James to Mahalia Jackson and Ray Charles, but argues that, in the end, Go Tell it on the Mountain is a profoundly Augustinian novel. As always, I hope you enjoy our conversation.
Tune in to hear my conversation with Jeremy Tate about the CLT (Classic Learning Test). The CLT was founded in 2015 as an alternative to standardized tests for high school students applying to college.
What You Need to Know is what are they hiding? Why is the left fighting so much against audits and new election laws? It's time to get to the bottom of what's going on with our elections because our voter confidence level is low. There's a possibility that nothing is being hidden but this concerted effort to stop audits and new voter laws doesn't make anyone think that that's the case. Let's get to the bottom of it and give confidence back to elections! Armstrong Williams, political pundit, entrepreneur, columnist, & TV host of the Armstrong Williams show, explains that America's greatest threat isn't from other countries but from others who live in America working to cause disunity. Check out his website ArmstrongWilliams.com. Jeremy Tate, CEO of Classic Learning Test, talks about a recent tweet — “I would be depressed about the future of America if I didn't spend so much time around the classical education renewal movement. Quietly, out of view from the mainstream media, a revolution is starting. I see it homeschooling families and the classical schools I visit. Just wait.” Jeremy also talks about Critical Race Theory and how there are so many parents against this new teaching. Wrap Up: We have a border crisis! And it's not being reported. America's southern border is wide open for anyone to walk over, especially if you have a kid. The media choosing not to report what's going on at the border is destructive and a disaster for us as a nation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Education, as the current US Department of Education website has it, is all about “student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness.” If that's the case, then it stands to reason that education will be entirely pragmatic, teaching skills—marketable skills—and that student success will be a function of pragmatic, marketable skills. That's especially clear in the seemingly esoteric world of college entrance tests—the SAT and ACT. Both tests claim to measure “college and career readiness” and schools, wanting their graduates to succeed “teach to the test,” conforming their curricula to the measured practical and marketable skills measured by the tests. Partly as a result of his Christian convictions, Jeremy Tate who ran a company that helped students prep for the SAT and ACT, became disillusioned with the whole system and started a company to compete with the two giants of college admissions testing. Mr. Tate's Classic Learning Test (CLT) continues to gain traction and it's the test Wyoming Catholic College is most pleased to see in admissions transcripts.

The closing of public school buildings across North Carolina has forced students into remote learning for the final months of the school year. But thousands of students have not logged on to participate in a single online education session. Terry Stoops, John Locke Foundation vice president for research and director of education studies, analyzes the impact for educational attainment in N.C. schools. Gov. Roy Cooper’s economic shutdown has prompted a number of complaints from business owners, workers, and other government officials. Gaston County Commissioner Tracy Philbeck has offered vocal opposition to the governor’s statewide shutdown orders. Philbeck shared his concerns during a recent virtual town hall sponsored by the John Locke Foundation. It’s unclear just how hard the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent economic shutdown will hit the N.C. state budget. State Rep. Jason Saine, R-Lincoln, a top House budget writer, offered a recent assessment for colleagues. Saine explains why decisions about the state budget are likely to be delayed until later in the summer. Some educators complain that a focus on preparing for the SAT and ACT can get in the way of important learning in the high school years. An alternative called the Classic Learning Test is designed to address those concerns. Alec Bianco, the test’s marketing director, distinguishes CLT from its better-known competitors. The Trump administration has been tinkering with Obama-era federal fuel-efficiency standards for vehicles. The John Locke Foundation has joined a group of free-market think tanks asking Trump’s team to take a more reasonable approach to those standards. Donald van der Vaart, JLF senior fellow, explains the little-known consequences of these federal rules.

About 4.4 million Americans filed for unemployment this week, making a total of 26 million in just five weeks. And while it was easy to flip the economy off, it won't be so easy to flip it back on. President Trump says he does not agree with the actions of the Georgia governor to open the economy back up. Gov. Cuomo says it's easy to work — just get an essential job. Simple as that! But in an interview with Vice News, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says people should just not go to work because that's no form of "liberation." We're still not clear what that means, honestly.

On this week’s podcast, Jeremy Tate, CEO of the Classic Learning Test, joins Mike Petrilli and David Griffith to discuss what classical learning is and why it’s important. On the Research Minute, Amber Northern examines whether popular children have an outsized influence on their peers.
Josh and Ethan explore the College Board's new Adversity Score system, and argue that it is an unjust system that compromises the objectivity of the SAT. They base their analysis on the Wall Street Journal's article (5/16) breaking the story, and focus on the many ways this adversity score system can be abused and how it harms students who have worked hard to demonstrate their academic prowess. By the end of the episode, Josh suggests boycotting the SAT and considering the Classic Learning Test as an alternative route. If you want to contact us about anything in the episode, or share your thoughts on this new College Board system, email us at whatstheres@gmail.com. Correction - In this episode, Josh stated that the ACT is owned by the College Board. That statement was incorrect, and this correction means the threat of a testing monopoly is less severe than the conclusion of this episode explains. Apologies.
