Have you gotten into the genesis of modern education, John Dewey?
Oh yes. I first read John Taylor Gatto’s book, The Underground History of American Education in 05 or so. That lead me to read BK Eakman and Charlotte Iserbyt and a few others.
The real paradigm shift for me though was earlier when I read, The Closing of the American Mind— by Alan Bloom. I was shocked and angry—at first, but which led me to Gatto and a lot of others, like Eakman and Blumfeld.
Bloom’s book is about all the underlying philosophy of the Postmodernists and how the ideology got into the Universities and curricula. Bloom was a philosophy teacher at Univ. of Chicago who wrote the book in the mid 80’s after noticing how dumb (not his word) his students were—and had no morals—were moral relativists. They were so unknowledgeable, that they could no longer relate to history or literature or ideas. They had no clue to anything in the Bible either——a first for him—to have the majority be so ignorant of US history and traditions and ideas that were staples of the previous generation who had morality.
