The country desperately needs this approach, far beyond the confines of high school. No society has ever been improved by authoritarianism, censorship, bullying and indoctrination which is what is being pushed ad nauseum in an effort to dismantle Western institutions. The end goal is the full rejection of capitalism, the family unit and individual autonomy. Our schools have been used as a weapon against our own institutions to place us in this precarious place in history. Schools can also turn this sinking ship around by getting back to the basic set of principles outlined in your article. I hope it happens quickly.

Excellent. You might consider how to include ethics into the core concepts more directly. Some in the post-modern school are using and teaching “fatal strategies” to disrupt classical liberal discourse. Teaching how to spot that and counter it will help you overcome ideologues who purposely distort language, gaslight, and apply other verbal coercion to silence and shame others. Awareness of the techniques can inoculate your students and help them stay calm, and not be bullied in sophisticated ways.
