“Gato’s book, The Underground History of American Education outlines this complete transformation of our public schools into massive brainwashing, conditioning centers to eliminate initiative, individualism, patriotism and Christian values of dignity and worth for all human beings.”
Indeed. There’s a fine line between education and indoctrination. Our school system clearly leans toward the latter. Your overall post was excellent and insightful and needs no further comment from me! :)
There still are teachers who think like I do....The Classical traditional way of thinking who reject the Postmodern German philosophy. They have saved and shaped many of their pupils regardless of the system set up to make them fail.
That is what this DOE and unions and central control of schools is all about— eliminating those who think in the traditional American way.
Through certification and indoctrination, they are controlling “who” can teach and inculcate “ideas” into you child’s head in the public schools. They are designing useful idiots for our school system.
