Conservative faculty

Dear Mr. Pipes:
I am a conservative public school teacher in Washington State. I am a devout Othodox Catholic. I belong to The Patriarchal Order of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem. That in itself is an anomaly. Teachers of faith need a voice. The ruling elite in education has yet to see that there is light in the system that is winning the current culure war of Life. Please do not discount the homeschooling population that is taking seriously the teaching of youth, but also those teachers of faith who daily seek to encourage and strengthen all students to know and love that which ia beyond this secular moment.

I have long thought that our energy and educational expertise should be on the youth before they ever enter the univeristy. Later sending these students sure of who they are, and ready to stand for their beliefs despite those professors who would exploit them into thinking they are inferior.

Where are those secondary level teachers of faith? How can we unite?

Sincerely,
BH Wilson
