Today my school, Patrick Henry College, made the front page of the New York Times. You can read the article here. The article, and consequently the school, got a lot of radio attention as a result. It seemed a mostly balanced article, but quite from a liberal perspective. I think we have the left a bit scared. Still, it said a number of positive things and did the job of bringing us to the attention of the whole country. This quote was especially amusing/notable. While I would say its an unfair characterization, I'll take her reaction as a compliment.
"Mike Farris is trying to train young people to get on a very right-wing political agenda," said Nancy Keenan, the education policy director at People for the American Way, a liberal advocacy group, and a former Montana state superintendent of public education. The number of Patrick Henry interns in the White House "scares me to death," she said. "It tells us a little bit more about the White House than it does about the kids."
Also, a few days ago we were featured in The Economist. See that article here.
I'd like to tip my hat to Prof Root who said today in his blog that we are his best students. I took his class, so that includes me. To see what he had to say about us and about the article go here.
