8th Grade Attends FEI Breakfast

8th Grade - On Tuesday, a large contingent of 8th graders and faculty and staff attended the Free Enterprise Institute breakfast at the River Oaks Country Club. The boys heard from three dynamic speakers on the defeat of communism at the end of the Cold War. Mr. Joseph Pearce delivered an excellent speech on the prophetic voice of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Dr. Bradley Birzer offered remarks on the outstanding leadership that President Reagan displayed in standing up to the Evil Empire. Finally, Dr. Barbara Elliott gave the keynote speech on the "candles behind the wall," regaling the audience with several untold tales of heroism and courage of laypeople who suffered mightily for freedom under the oppressive Soviet regime. All in all, our boys were fortunate to experience a one-of-a-kind educational opportunity to contemplate the implications of political ideology in our world.
