In a Target parking lot…
Gibbs: Excuse me, sir. I know you have shopping to do, but I was wondering if we could speak for a moment.
Driver: About what?
Gibbs: About your bumper sticker.
Driver: Which one?
Gibbs: The one that says in very large letters, “My children receive a classical Christian education.”
Driver: What about it?
Gibbs: I should tell you now that I followed you a little ways because I wanted to ask you about it.
Driver: Yes?
Gibbs: Well, why are you sending your child to a classical Christian school?
Driver: Because a classical Christian education is concerned with reality. Public schools revolve around feelings and fantasy.
Gibbs: “Feelings and fantasy.” Yes, what do you mean?
Driver: A classical Christian education aims to align the student’s feelings with reality. Public schools teach students that reality should align with our feelings. It’s delusional.
Gibbs: Couldn’t agree more. A classical Christian education is interested in the truth, regardless of how we feel about it.
Driver: I see you know something about classical Christian education.
Gibbs: I do, and I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.
Driver: We don’t even know one another.
Gibbs: Sir, you either need to learn to drive like a reasonable adult or you need to remove that bumper sticker from your car.

There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity.
