Also the Classical Bookworm blog had a posting on the Cushing library decision:
“I give the headmaster points for acknowledging that they can do this because they are richer than God, as the saying goes. I do wonder whether encouraging students to read books for pleasure carries much water when you’re getting rid of your book collection. Teens are notoriously adept at spotting when grownups are not walking the walk.”
The posting includes a link to a live interview:
