Follow up interview of John Taylor Gatto from December 7, 2007. Check my favorites for the first interview from November 28, 2007.
John Taylor Gatto (author of The Underground History of Education (which is free on his website)) speaks with Alex Jones about the who, what, and why of the foundations of the system of education we enjoy today in the United States.
From the Table of Contents on Gatto's webpage:
Chapter Four
I Quit, I Think
I lived through the great transformation which turned schools from often useful places into laboratories of state experimentation with the lives of children, a form of pornography masquerading as pedagogical science. All theories of child-rearing talk in averages, but the evidence of your own eyes and ears tells you that average men and women don't really exist except as a statistical conceit.
Chapter Seven
The Prussian Connection
In 1935, at the University of Chicago's experimental school where John Dewey had once held sway, Howard C. Hill, head of the social science department, published an inspirational textbook called The Life and Work of the Citizen. The title page clearly shows four cartoon hands symbolizing law, order, science, and the trades interlocked to form a perfect swastika. By 1935, Prussian pattern and Prussian goals had embedded themselves so deeply into the vitals of institutional schooling that hardly a soul noticed the traditional purposes of the enterprise were being abandoned.
