New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.

I wanted to love this. But while lots of great questions were asked, Mr. Bevan’s answers amounted to little more than a detailed restatement and agreement that it was a great question. I didn’t hear a single answer. Like you, I am open-minded and willing to consider multiple opinions. Unfortunately, with the playing field so skewed, I’m not sure any of us have that luxury right now. Dante’s Inferno Canto 3 talks about those who refuse to take a side.
