Vasconcelos believed that a mixing of all races would produce a vigorous people influenced by the knowledge of the world. He despised John Dewey whose educational philosophies have destroyer Americas schools.
He brought the classics from Europe to Mexico to educate Mexicans in the Western Canon.
Until the Nineties Mexicans who were educated were better educated than Americans.
I see that personally. This article needs a lot of parsing.
Mexicans were better educated than Americans? Are you tripping? If that were the case how come none of these educated Mexicans haven’t figured out how to turn their dysfunctional shithole country into one that works?
