I wrote it to try to appeal to traditionalists and progressives and people of all political persuasions! spending time building a religious or spiritual community is fine by me, especially if it provides material services to the locality and a sense of civic responsibility also fine with private schools although I do think they should cater to students without the means to pay exorbitant tuition (some provide tuition aid, in fact I went to one that did) and I think there is something to be said for allowing public schools some degree of curricular independence, which might make them more appealing to those who presently prefer private alternatives really I think there's a lot most people can agree on and I hope we can begin to identify less with team R or D and reason from principles in our politics > It’s surprisingly difficult. Not everyone does it. And we would be better off if they did! totally agree, it's difficult but worthwhile!
