I went to Saint John's College in Annapolis. It's a secular school but we read a great deal of the Bible, Augustine, Aquinas, Dante, Luther, and Calvin -- because knowing them (at least a little) is part of being an educated man in the West.
Thomas Aquinas College (TAC) is influenced by Saint John's but is very much a Catholic School. If it has a flaw it is that some of the faculty are too influenced by a particular school of Thomism. I know some of the faculty and some graduates and they're VERY impressive.
If somebody like Glen wanted a good school but was uneasy about the Catholicism, I'd sure suggest they look into Hillsdale.
As the Progressives gain power, it is not clear how long these places will be able to last. TAC is going to have to find a way to deal with the HHS mandate, for example. These are very dark times for our nation, and a great many academics are adherents of the same child-devouring cults that numbers Progressives among their members.
I didn't make it clear, but this was a big part of Glenn's reasoning. Apparently, mastery of this Core curriculum will be required for college attendance. Yessiree. Gotta hand it to those free-thinking progressives.
