What Happened to Education? Here is one of the answers

From American Thinker:

Obama, Freud, and the American Progressives' Guilt Trip
By Chuck Rogér
At the turn of the twentieth century, an early "progressive" Vermonter named John Dewey kick-started a makeover of America's education system. At the conclusion of the second of his seminal works, The School and Society and The Child and the Curriculum, Dewey offered these bits of wisdom.

But save as the teacher knows, knows wisely and thoroughly, the race-expression which is embodied in that thing we call the Curriculum, the teacher knows neither what the present power, capacity, or attitude is, nor yet how it is to be asserted, exercised, and realized....

.....And so from The Child and the Curriculum emerged a construct that Dewey called the "psychologizing"[1] of education, and progressives would use his unsupported contentions to pervert the process by which education would be conducted over the next hundred years....

....Dewey-indoctrinated educators have helped to sicken American culture. On the website, Minding the Campus, former State University of New York Board of Trustees member Candace de Russy lists questions found on a completed exam discovered by a colleague in an eastern American college classroom.

Question: How does the United States "steal" the resources of other (third world) [sic] countries?

Answer: We steal through exploitation. Our multinationals are aware that indigenous people in developing nations have been coaxed off their plots and forced into slums. Because it is lucrative, our multinationals offer them extremely low wage labor (sic) that cannot be turned down.

Question: Why is the U.S. on shaky moral ground when it comes to preventing illegal immigration?

Answer: Some say that it is wrong of the United States to prevent illegal immigration because the same people we are denying entry to, (sic) we have exploited for the purpose of keeping the American wheel spinning.

Question: Please briefly explain the matrix of domination.

Answer: the (sic) belief that domination has more than one dimension. For example, Males (sic) are dominant over females, whites over blacks, and affluent over impoverished.

These questions and the answers supplied by a student and accepted by the instructor provide a taste of the professorial moralizing that churns out mush-minded "critical thinkers." Dr. de Russy observes, "A student who matriculates in [sociology] will have nothing in the way of useful skills, but will be convinced that his country is rotten to the core, and that whites and males are evil." Which is exactly what too many social studies academics want students to believe, for these academics cling to the first guiding principle of the impassioned ideologue: Agenda trumps reality.
