Ye Hedge School
is named after the clandestine schools held by the Irish during the time
of the Penal laws. . . .
In our own time,
education is legally required and readily available for everyone, but what
an education! Not only are prayer and catechism forbidden in our schools,
as were Mass and Catholic theology in Ireland, but phonics is virtually outlawed,
math is neglected, and literature, history, geography, and the biological
sciences are so infected with eugenic bias as to be anti-catechetical for
Catholics.
Whether you are
schooling at home or in the public schools, the Hedge School is committed
to developing and promoting materials that will help you bring your children's
education in line with eternal truth.
