Geee Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 American Thinker:I had the good fortune of attending what may have been America's best high school in the 1960s: Regis by name, a Jesuit high school located in New York City's upper east side.As the first kid in my Newark grade school to be accepted -- it is an all-scholarship school -- I felt too honored not to go. My quickest commute involved a local bus, a local subway, a train to Manhattan, and the subway uptown, 75 minutes on a good day. It was a tough slog, but all in all worth it. For four years, the Jesuits benignly hammered the Nicky Newark out of me, and I emerged at the end of the day as a better Christian and a passable scholar.Although the Jesuits still take education seriously, what they no longer take seriously is their faith. I first noticed this trend about a dozen years ago. I had produced the first ever high-end documentary on the recently revived Latin Mass, Tradition, and I volunteered to send a copy to the school principal. He informed me that he was not interested in seeing it. In turn, I informed him that after about twenty or so consecutive years, I was no longer interested in donating to Regis.
