Job 16, Exegetical Notes from Abner Chou

September 28, 2015 Adam Setser

What It Means to Be Educated

September 23, 2015 Adam Setser

So-called safe-speech, microagressions, and trigger-warnings are ruining education, and if we lose education, we lose the battle for our humanity. God wants you to be educated, and this is what I think that means.
