The Dewey Deception...
To do justice to the mischief Dewey caused, we would need a writer like Robert Ludlum. He could write a thriller called “The Dewey Deception.” Make no mistake, this was a secret conspiracy. Dewey and a tiny group of pals (supported by Rockefeller’s guilty millions) engaged in a furtive plot to transform the United States into a secular and Socialist country. To make this happen, they determined that the young must be made less literate, less informed, than the parents. One generation into the future, these dumbed-down Americans would surrender their dreams of freedom. Recall how casually, in his Creed, John Dewey dismissed math, history, science, literature, geography—in order to make room for cooking, sewing, and manual training! Now, here’s what must be confronted directly: would the average American have voted for this? Of course not. So Dewey had to preside over a slow-motion coup carried out, for all practical purposes, in the dark of night. And thus began 100 years of deceit, disingenuousness, and dishonesty. The Dewey Deception is an apt name.
Unfortunately, many of today’s educators are Dewey’s clones, working the shadowy con that Dewey concocted so long ago. If you want to improve education in this country, you first have to shoo away these lost souls. Their distinguishing trait is that they no longer talk of What to teach but entirely about Why and How. The problem is that these soi-disant educators can do a perfect, bang-up, super-sensational job by their own lights, concocting an infinitude of programs, methodologies, theories, studies, research, insights, slogans and conceptual breakthroughs, but children can still end up no more knowledgeable than bricks. Indeed, that often seems to be the goal. The way we save our schools is to bury Dewey’s ghost. It has caused enough mischief.
