Okay, I sense sarcasm, but I'm a little tired today and I can't be sure.
wikipedia Wrote:Julian also forbade the Christians from teaching classical texts and learning.
That's where I got the idea, and it seems you know what I'm talking about. All snarky quips and jabs aside, I see no utility in denying anyone a proper education.
It is kind of funny though that anti-intellectualism is something that certain Christians are happy to inflict on themselves nowadays. I'm sure some of them would even consider Greek philosophy "pagan devilry." It's like they are their own Emperor Julian's. Sad actually.
Edit: Okay, I see. But wiki said "forbade them from learning" so that's where I got the idea.
