Do you have any recommendations of good articles on the anti-intellectualism in schools? I will read all the threads you posted, but that's my main interest, and I'm not sure where to start.

Do a search for John Taylor Gatto and/or Charlotte Iserbyt. That will give you all the info you need.

Here's some additional information
Lexington Institute

NonPartisan Action For a Better Redding

Quality of Education Commentary, Opinion, and Book Reviews

I will read all the threads you posted, but that's my main interest, and I'm not sure where to start.
There are HUNDREDS of links (within links) in my reply #6. There are articles that address the anti-intellectualism in schools. The book, "The Deliberate Dumbing Down of America" (Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt's, is an enormous tome of information on this country's education chaos.

Though I cannot, at the present time, locate my web link for the 'Writings of Robert (Bob) Holland", his articles on education's conditions are recommended. He is now affiliated with the Lexington Institute. It would be worthwhile exercise to do an internet search for his articles.
