I have a couple of additional items for the curriculum:
1) Basic reading and writing to at least 4th-grade level.
2) Study and corporal enforcement of Christian moral laws, especially as regards stealing and coveting the goods, wives, and daughters of others, and respect for God and country--as indicated in such sources as the Ten Commandments, the Baltimore Catechism, or the Letters of St. Paul.
Just yesterday I passed some panhandlers, and I couldn’t help but think how this scene could’ve played out 150 years ago. As Union armies swept through the South, blacks would leave the plantations and follow them; the generals wrote to Washington warning they couldn’t feed both the armies and these trains of freed slaves. The panhandlers were no better off - no better educated, no better trained. “Social Activism” is a public acknowledgment by leftists that they never will be; they just have to be provided for like livestock.
I can think of only one useful lesson from these camps, the last one. How to turn out the lights.
