And if you don't believe me...

... to be a serious person you would need to read (all) this first before you say anything:

And this:

Now, obviously as a lifelong practitioner of the educational theory of Kurt Hahn, I'm biased. Hahnian teaching requires physical contact, not just physical presence. But let's remember that Unity College was one of a handful of Hahnian colleges in the US and so unique in that role. It was disposed of, unthinkingly, by a decision process that did not even consider the full nature of what was to be lost.

I doubt very much that the board even knows what kind of education was previously provided. You'd think they would at least know who Kurt Hahn was. But I doubt it very much.

So, read this too:
