Hello there. This is Mark Bowerline with another conversation. Before we get to it, a word about one of our sponsors.

Located in the foothills of Wyoming's spectacular wind river range, Wyoming Catholic College,

an accredited four-year Great Books Institution is built on the ancient Western tradition

of the liberal arts and the freedom of the American West.

The college offers its students an immersion in the primary sources of the classical tradition,

the grandeur of the mountain wilderness, and the spiritual heritage of the Catholic Church.

Students experience the illumination of imagination and intellect through the great books and traditional disciplines,

literature and philosophy, mathematics and theology, science and Latin, and an outdoor program second to none.

The college celebrated an in-person graduation with its seniors last year and welcomed

its largest freshman class ever this year. Learn more about the college's unique space in the

world of American higher education at Wyoming Catholic.edu.

United States. He has an article recently at National Review entitled, Parents Can Save

Western Civilization, which will be our springboard. Welcome again, Stanley.

Tell us what is the main contention in the recent National Review article?

Well, Mark, my main point was that I don't think it's a coincidence
