FROM THE 6/5/2022 HOLY NAME OF MARY BULLETIN, page 3: The old wooden cross on the Chapel of the Good Shepherd bell tower fell off recently due to rot. A brand-new cross constructed of tubular aluminum was installed Friday, May 27. Our thanks go to Dominick Giusti at Highland Welding Services, Inc. in Peekskill for designing and custom fabricating the new cross. We also wish to thank Chris Vasta at Westchester Coating for prepping and powder coating the new cross and Franzoso Contracting for installing the cross on the roof of the Chapel’s bell tower.

AT THE REQUEST OF LOCAL AUTHORS & JOURNALISTS, PART 36, FORMER NYT JOURNALIST, THE GREAT BARI WEISS, STUDENTS REVEAL "FORBIDDEN LESSONS" SERIES---NOW BEING TAUGHT AT ANTI-WOKE UNIVERSITY OF AUSTIN

One of our most popular series continues.....

Fed up with the increasingly woke and intolerant political climate on American campuses, former New York Times columnist Bari Weiss last year announced the launch of The University of Austin, a new four-year college dedicated to “the fearless pursuit of truth.” The college aims to welcome its first class of full-time four-year undergraduates in 2024, and last month, its first summer program, “The Forbidden Courses” series, admitted 80 students from colleges across the US.“This is an insanely intelligent group of people — a genuinely thoughtful, bold group of kids. And it bodes very, very well for the future of the institution,” University of Austin founding faculty member Peter Boghossian told The Post. A former professor at Portland State who came under fire for publishing hoax papers in woke academic journals, Boghossian taught a course at the University of Austin called “Street Epistemology,” about conversational techniques that help people think more critically about deeply-held beliefs.

During the two, week-long summer sessions, funded entirely by donor contributions and held at a temporary location in Dallas, students attended small, discussion-based seminars, such as “Critical Thinking and Freedom of Expression” taught by feminist and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, alongside shorter workshops, like “How to Be Liberal in an Illiberal Age” taught by Weiss.   Read more of the very highly detailed article at
