Read this faculty speech by Wellesley High School English teacher David McCullough, Jr. The writing is gorgeous. Boggling are the negative comments (“smug”? He’s ANTI-smug. And to those poo-pooing his call for selflessness: awaken to what brings happiness, America!) The naysayers don’t get what matters during these bizarre Modern Tymes; they prolly sleep spooning their generic trophies. That, or they didn’t read it all the way through. How modern.
McCullough: You had me at “Weddings are bride-centric pageantry.”
