Two years ago, Catholic writer Austin Ruse wrote, “The problem with ‘politics is downstream from culture’ is that it may instill a kind of stasis in people: Well, I am raising my kids, and after all, we have that reading group that meets every month. Isn’t this how we change the culture? Isn’t this how we change politics way down the river? And all the while, right down the street, they are teaching sodomy to children.
“Sure, learn swing dancing. Go to your reading group. But also, pound on the door of the local school board. Politics cannot wait for culture. Andrew Breitbart would agree.”
Ruse was prescient. His column pre-dated by three months the Loudon County BOE having deputies arrest a father who complained about a boy in a skirt raping his daughter in the girls room.
