Attacks on Education : Contextualizing America’s Failing System
Attacks on education have played a significant role in American history, unrelenting in their spurious accusations and never backed up with evidence, with enormous and dire consequences all along. They were attacks on the very concept of education then, precisely as they are now. It seems most Americans were intelligent enough to detect such lies and defeat them, but with repetition over a century, it seems more citizens fall to this ignorance, to the detriment of our society and its future. The time to avert this tragedy is rapidly passing, but you can only understand how by looking to the past and how the problem has only become worse with every passing year, to the point that we have a president whose avowed purpose is to dismantle the Department of Education.
