@Bongolian I could use a little help with this project. It's more difficult than I anticipated. --Trans Fem Agenda 20:27, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

I'm not sure that I have much more to contribute than Classical antiquity#Classical education. Jason Stanley's 2024 book, Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future, was my source for that, and he devoted a chapter to the topic, so you may be able to get more out of that book than I did. The website Pharos is very informative about misuse of classical antiquity by the far-right. The principle author of the website, Curtis Dozier, is coming out with a book next January (The White Pedestal: How White Nationalists Use Ancient Greece and Rome to Justify Hate) that may cover classical education.

I think the 'little' part is the incorrect bit. I object to almost all the content produced so far, including the page title itself [no offence]. The education page has been long on my scope for total overhauling, most likely to become an overview page with 'Classical Christian education' as a sub-page of it. Therefore, if you cut down your scope to be just that you won't be so daunted. You've caught me a bit of a poor time; I'm on a 'content sabbatical' until we know exactly the new situation with RW when in Oregon. KarmaPolice (talk) 12:40, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
