This person has confused education with ideology. Education didn’t create the holocaust. Following the NAZI creed did. We don’t need our schools do to anything but create great learned citizens. It is our Religious affiliations that create the morals.
This is nothing more than more liberal social construct gobbledey gook. Education simply allows a person to function at a higher level. If the goal is to ensure that no one functions at a level that harms another person, then abortion is for you because it can’t be done. Social engineering is an oxymoron. People eventually realize they have been duped.
To me, it sounds like a warning about how education can be used for indoctrination and that is what parents should guard against.
Given how many of our public schools are now teaching even the youngest childrent that homosexual deviancy is “normal”, I’d say this is very good advice.
You are so wrong, on so many levels.
Education is defined as ... A program of instruction of a specified kind or level.
You cannot have schools that teach a curriculum in a moral vacuum and not educate monsters. Either a curriculum is a moral curriculum, or it is not. The absence of morality in a curriculum is teaching amorality.
Morals and ethics must be firmly implanted at the same time as skills/tools to either create great works or enable great harm.
That’s why this country and Western Civilization worked and produced great things for so long - we all believed and lived the Judeo-Christian ethic.
Absent the Judeo-Christian ethic, we have the mystical cult of Naziism, the “god is the state” of Marx, Mao and Lenin, and the “kill the unbeliever” cult of Islamics.
You want a “great learned citizen”? Then do it yourself and stop looking for gov’t to do it for you. That is Dr. Ginott’s message, always.
Actually if you attended over 70% of the universities in the USA and viewed the profs, and what they were propagandizing, you might think that there is education and then there is ideological education. Europe is filled with such rot and so is the USA. What is worse, it is in our high schools and one can see that by reading the curricula in the 50 states. BTW, I have been teaching for 45 years and now consider myself the lone conservative in my college dept.
