LETTER : " Providence schools reflect moral , intellectual chaos "

Letter: Ron Ruggieri: Providence schools reflect moral, intellectual chaos July 2, 2019 | Providence Journal: Web Edition Articles (RI) Section: Opinion 110 Words | Readability: Lexile: 1190, grade level(s): 10 11-12 Read News Document Wisdom on the burning topics of the day, such as problems with our schools, can be found in such surprising places as the Cato Journal. Since attention spans are short, I will quote the very last sentence of an article by Peter McAllister ("A Teacher's Perspective on What's Wrong With Our Schools," Winter 2018): "And our children deserve schools that demonstrate that there are objective moral values whose realization can lead to a successful, productive, and happy life." Somehow the principle of benevolent authority must be applied to the moral and intellectual chaos of the public schools. The excoriated Catholic Bishop Thomas Tobin would agree, I am sure.
