I think that you have found common ground with my family!  We might be liberal in varying degrees where you are not, but that does not mean that we like either solid content or classical education thrown out the window.

You struck more than a couple of chords with this comment.

I know of a Catholic secondary school for young women that has just instituted a "Leadership Institute."  I have been trying to find the words I would like to use to express my concern with what they are doing -- a series of lectures/luncheons by women in executive positions.  I am not at all against women in executive positions, and when I was young, hearing from a few might have been helpful.  However, I think that a couple of career or vocation evenings offering insights on any number of life paths would be a lot more helpful and realistic as it would have been in the early sixties when it was assumed that if we married, we would never again work outside the home.

Love your last sentence.
