The shift from memorization of facts to moral platitudes indoctrinated into kids from their earliest years.

In BRAVE NEW WORLDS, Huxley talks about babies being "grown in petrie dishes, the word "mother" becoming almost like a curse word and shocking, people taking "soma" ( a feel good drug ), small children being taught all about sex in school, and the populace being set apart in groups...according to their IQs and wearing different kinds of clothes, to differentiate the groups, which are labeled "alpha" ( as the highest ), "beta" and so forth.

It has been a great many decades since I read the book ( as part of the three books required for summer reading ), but a lot of it has stuck in my memory!
