Government Institutionalized Education and Democracy, January 3, 2008
This review is from: The Dissenting Tradition in American Education (Paperback)
The very institutions we charge with teaching democracy act as dictators. Parents are blamed by schools failures by their own pedogogy of mediocrity. Schools model the militant disciplinary institutions like prisons and asylums. The truth behind organized education like religion is there is only one school of thought and that is the one being taught. Ideas are only acceptable if they are the same ideas that are narrowed and focused as the one who supposedly knows. Education of humans is to include the relevance of self and where we fit in the picture of the world. The truth in goverenment education is to brain wash the public to believe that you don't know what to believe unless they tell you what to think and where you fit into society. Originality is not acceptable and you will be punished if you don't do as your told and fit in the one size fits all.
