The History of Modern Schooling

H.H. Gaudard, chairman of the psychology department at Princeton, called government schooling in 1920 "the perfect organization of the hive" The U.S. Office of Education now deeply committed to gaining access to the private lives and thoughts of children gave contracts for seven volumes of so-called change agent studies to the Rand Corporation. In 1989 a senior director of the Mid-continent regional education laboratory told the 50 governors of the United States assembled in Kansas City that plans are underway to replace family, church and community with propaganda. What we're into is the total restructuring of scientific scholarship, he says.
