It's interesting how history repeats itself. In the mid-'70s my parents considered the UK option for me as it seemed there was nothing but pot and revolution fomenting on US boarding school campuses. I ended up at Milton, and now I receive countless breathless invitations to view their Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice (DEIJ) lecture series.

Thank you for writing this article, I enjoyed reading it. I agree with the premise of your article that conservatives and classical liberals interests align intellectually and in outcomes in reversing woke ideology. Yet I was surprised that you felt that things are so far gone that you felt compelled to send your children to England to educate your children. It seems excessive from my view point, surely there are many pockets in the state with great school districts, but I may be missing something. I will continue reading your articles, hopefully I will gain some insights.

Good Luck with the UK school search. I am confident it will yield better things, a better life for her with new and increased horizons on the other side of the world---if nothing else, the life journey you are taking your daughter on and the different experience she will have from attending one of the school's in your search will provide her a valuable education in itself. I feel there is no doubt it will be superior to anything you find currently in the US.

Great article. I might make one addition, which is that people don't really fall into one or the other of your four categories (I realize you are categorizing ideology, not people). For instance, I identify as a conservative but am more liberal on a fair number of topics. But not a "centrist"; I just think what I think. I notice when I hang out on (my new online home) Quora and say I am a conservative that people immediate attribute to me a bunch of positions I don't hold.

People aren't necessarily one ideology or the other.
