This book was an incredible eye opener for me. I as a public school student knew that my fellow students and I were being indoctrinated into the anti-capitolist, socialist views of educators. I made a comment about socialism in class and I wash shocked to hear what my teacher said "Socialism isn't bad, it's great". The comment confirmed my worst fears and everything said in Blumenfeld's book, socialist are using the public schools to turn America into a socialist nation. Read the book, it will change your view of education forever.

For those wondering I am a sophomore in high school.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most incisive indictment of the Progressive cabal, October 19, 1997

By A Customer

Samuel Blumenfeld indicts the Progressive education cabal by using their very own words to expose their leftist/radical agenda. You will never look at Dewey and his disciples in the National Education Association the same way again. Blumenfeld is a meticulous researcher who blows the cover on the socialist policy-makers who control American public education today. He is to education what Malachi Martin is to the Catholic Church: a brilliant, erudite iconoclast who despises Marxist deception. Alarming, unsettling, provocative, and hard-hitting. Every patriotic American should read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The mind-set of the NEA, September 8, 1999

By	H.H. Farmer (HENDERSON, KENTUCKY 42420) - See all my reviews

Blumenfeld condemns the NEA using their own words. One has to read this book to really understand why education is in the terrible shape it is in this country.
