The progressive war on Catholic private schools
I spent my formative years at an all-boys’ Catholic prep school in rural New England. It was a magical, Bridesheadian sorts of place, where everyone’s only pretending to be gay (probably) and women exist as a kind of theory or abstraction – like Persians, as Maistre would say. Our library was endowed by, and named for, John J. Studzinski: the distinguished-looking gentleman you see seated behind Donald Trump (and in front of Maria Bartiromo) at the infamous 2016 Al Smith Dinner. Other alumni include comedian Bo Burnham, who is, predictably, a prick. So, with more than a little skin in the game, I must ask: why do progressives have it in for Catholic prep schools? First it was Georgetown Prep, which is both Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch’s alma mater.
