IT'S ELEMENTARY MY DEAR DALTON, NEVER COMPROMISE

Off-the-cuff suggestions for the Dalton School

1. Immediately terminate the malcontents. Acquiescing to any of their demands will destroy you and your reputation.

2. Admit students based on merit, not melanin.

3. Hire faculty based on merit, not melanin. NBA players and NFL players do not "look like America." Nobel Prize winners also do not "look like America." Diversity for its own sake is not merely silly, IT IS DESTRUCTIVE.

4. Do not let Marxists, Redistributionists, or Socialists enter, either through the front door or the back door. Always and everywhere, the revolution devours its own. You are no exception.

5. Most young boys (and some girls) are squirminators and cannot sit still for long. Accommodate them. Don't drug them.

6. Teach your students the basics. You'll know you have succeeded if they can pass the Regent's Exams from one hundred years ago.

7. Teach your students ethics, especially if their parents are in morally questionable occupations, such as Politics, the Law, or Plunder (now called "finance" euphemistically).

8. Teach your students how to think and how to express their thoughts lucidly.

9. Teach your students the good, the true and the beautiful. Music and the arts are important.

10. When dealing with children, "amor vincit omnia." That is as true today as in 37 B.C. when Publius Vergilius Maro wrote that phrase (Gallus, in Eclogues, no. 10, l. 69)

(the above was composed in 9 minutes)
