Our Founders were taught how to think and the high point of their education was their training in moral philosophy. They were taught that virtue was the highest aspiration of their soul.

Today's education, for the most part, either ignores the soul or works to deprave it.

yes--James Madison, James Monroe and Thomas Jefferson were among those classically educated... they read the Greeks and Romans... studied Latin and Greek... logic and rhetoric... geometry, mathematics... all the things we are striving give our boy--along with a biblical upbringing as their foundation--before they go to college...

because of their classical education, our Founding Fathers were able to conceive of our United States of America...
