Education in America

John Taylor Gatto www.johntaylorgatto.com was the guest on Coast tonight. He has what at first strikes one as a radical thesis. He thinks our education system does not educate, that its purpose is mind control, to make everyone a conformist who follows orders of the ruling elite of big government, business and industry. Hmm, sounds like some of the conspiracy theorists we hear on Coast. But, wait. We have all gone to school and lived what he is talking about. So, judge for yourself. Read his book, “The Underground History of American Education,” on-line (or download it for free). I got only a short way through the prologue and knew he was right. How depressing.
