The New Gospels Have Delivered, but They Have Not Saved

The new gospels have certainly delivered, but they have not saved. Education has also been a trinket on the shelves of snake oil salesmen and a plaything for social planners in America. For well over a century, they too have been driven by the spirit of ceaseless innovation,. The peddlers have shrouded the high and subtler goals of learning which former generations accepted and promoted. Instead of seeking to discern what a liberal education can bring to us, we now ask what we can get out of it. There is a difference. And the benefits accrued do not exist if they cannot be measured, and measured by tools calebrated by craftsmen out to replicate themselves.
