BaseCamp Live Episode #273: Are Classical Schools Elitist?
Guest: Megan Atherton

Episode Summary:

In a world where the idea of excellence can sometimes be misconstrued as elitism, classical education is often scrutinized. Uniforms, a rigorous curriculum, and a culture that upholds values of truth, goodness, and beauty can sometimes give off an impression of exclusivity. But is classical Christian education truly elitist? Join us in this episode of BaseCamp Live as we delve into this question with Megan Atherton, Program Director and Founder of Common Sense Classical, and explore why classical education is far from being elitist.

The Big Themes

• DEI and MLK: Christopher surveys the contemporary DEI landscape, expressing concerns about its focus on groupism rather than individual merit, citing instances of what he perceives as discrimination against certain groups. He draws a sharp contrast between the principles of DEI and the inclusive dream articulated by Martin Luther King, Jr.
• The Middle East: Hypocrisy within academia regarding the Middle East is highlighted, with a close look at Claudine Gay's recent appearance before Congress. The Middle East discussion serves as a microcosm reflecting broader concerns about ideological extremism, free speech, and the need for nuanced conversations.
• OpenAI Turmoil: Christopher expresses skepticism and concern about the decision-makers at OpenAI, characterizing them as "DEI elitists" with questionable values and ethics. Despite acknowledging the need for government regulation, oversight, and transparency in AI development, he opposes the notion of elitist individuals having undue influence. The board's embrace of effective altruism is tied to DEI.

The Big Quote: "Here's the prediction: In 2024, we will see what is required now, which is there will be the emergence of courageous CEOs who say, we are suspending all DEI efforts in our company. And we're going to do a review of them. And what we're going to try to re-align around is equality for all . . ."

Since the end of World War II, liberalism or a variation of the theme, has been the dominant political system of western developed countries. But is liberalism always the natural partner of democracy? And does liberalism today have an elitist tinge?

Markus called Bryan elitist last week and Bryan is still upset. We give our definition of the word before breaking down some of Bryan's likes and dislikes to decipher whether or not the accusation is true. Not only that, Alex (proudly) admits his (alleged) elitism and Markus has a realization that he may have some habits as well. This one is wild.

As tensions rise in the world, it is important to know where you want to stand. Do you care about the community you play in? Or, are you a self-proclaimed Elite or Pokemon Master in a phone game for 10 year olds and clout? Join JayTi7N (pronounced Jay Titan), JackJack, and Dotman X as we hop into the roles we are seeing in the community. We speak up on the Elitist mindset and how it is toxic to the Pokemon Go Community. Being and Elitist is being like Gary Oak. Don’t be a Gary, someone who is entitled, considers themselves above others, and an all-around punk like in the show. No one likes that.
