I don't know what's the specific kink of that school, but why anybody would want to work for them baffles me, and once this gets known, why anybody would send their kids there too.

And either my google fu is miserable, or these people are aware that their kink might make them impopular and are successfully making it hard to find.

I found their 'Core Values' page. It's filled with somewhat vague platitudes, but I note what seems to be a tendency toward New Age rather than Christian affiliation.

A link to the letter to staff.

Wow, I could not even extract that much from the mass of drivel.

And yeah, they sound rather like a weird private school friends of mine sent their daughter to so she'd learn fluent english... I really didn't like their Propagandastaffel... And if they hadn't mentioned the newish concept of emotional intellignece, I might suspect them of Anthroposophic/Steiner influences.

Certain examples of "New Age" pseudo-mysticism can be just as irrational and anti-science as the worst kind of religious fundamentalist...

I'm not going to disagree on that. I have an aunt, living in the US, who used to be neck deep in that... It was sheer poetry to hear her rant about the powers of the pyramid, or the Gaia hypothesis ...

Only in America is somebody shitting in Nancy's office worse than 9/11, the Civil War, AND Pearl Harbor.

An armed society is a polite society! So much politeness!


Aide for Amanda Chase brandished gun in road-rage incident

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) — An aide for Republican gubernatorial candidate Amanda Chase brandished a gun in a road-rage incident while the candidate participated in a virtual gun-rights debate in the back of her campaign van.

In the midst of a candidate forum with the Virginia Citizens Defense League, Chase — who was participating by phone in the Tuesday debate — shouts “No. Stop.”

“Speaking of a Second Amendment moment, we just had to, oh, my goodness, we are exercising our Second Amendment rights right now on our car, where we had somebody road rage, trying to get in front of us,” Chase says.

Just prior to that, a male voice can be overheard saying, “That’ll get your b—— a— in the car, won’t it?”

Shayne Snavely told The Washington Post he displayed an AR-15 pistol after a passenger in a sedan got of his car and started walking toward the van with a hand in his pocket.

“Yeah, he got a gun in his face,” Snavely said, who referred to the AR-15 as “a little bit of overwhelming force.”

Snavely, who was driving, said the other car kept pushing into them while he was in an exit lane, and that the passenger in the other car actually opened the door while moving and gesticulated at the van. Snavely said he displayed the pistol after the car continued to follow the van after exiting the highway.

Within a minute or two of the incident, Chase resumed the debate.

“You never know, even driving on the campaign, when you’re going to have to exercise your Second Amendment rights,” she said during the debate. “And we just avoided a scene while I’m here doing this Second Amendment rally. I promise, this is not staged right now. Oh, my gracious.”

Norfolk Police said they had no record of the incident. Chase’s campaign said they did not report it to police.

Chase is one of seven Republican candidates for the Virginia gubernatorial nomination, which will be decided at a May 8 convention. Chase has closely aligned herself with former President Donald Trump and embraced the moniker: “Trump in heels.” She routinely carried a gun at the State Capitol until the legislature banned the practice last year.

Christianity inherited that, with only a pretend covering of "gentle Jesus, meek and mild"...

Well, I don't remember where that was found (though I doubt it was in the works of Robert Howard), but somewhere, an author has Conan the barbarian explaining why Cimmerian society is better and more courteous than so called civilisation. (or maybe that was somewhere in Kull)
When somebody talks to you, he's polite, because he knows that if you get angry, you just might split him in two with a sword.

[L'Emmerdeur]

Yeah, Americans are known both for carrying guns and for being polite.

It's a facile trope, and fails to conform with reality. It's true that a society inhabited by an element of armed thugs might be slightly more polite in casual situations (riding public transport for instance), but that politeness breaks down instantly when a mild slight is used as an excuse to escalate.
