I thought it was Rush that told people what to think.
The next year, the Rockefeller Education Boardwhich funded the creation of numerous public schoolsissued a statement which read in part:
In our dreams people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple we will organize children and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.
During the golden age of progressives
When did we stop educating people?, when did we decide the state should tell people what to think instead of how to think on various important issues that affect us every day, and instead teach them, their is only way one way of thinking, and that those who want more rights, are racist, homophobic, and stupid, rather then looking in the mirror, they might actually see that in themselves

From your article: The Educational System Was Designed to Keep Us Uneducated and Docile
That's what the right wing wants. Injecting the occult into the classroom. Magical creation taught as an alternative to science. No wonder right wingers fall so far behind in education.
When did we stop educating people?

whatcha mean the state telling people what to think?
The corporate media has been doing that for years.
Your kids may not be learning much in college after all. New research finds 45 percent of university students show no significant improvement in test scores after two years of college. A New York University professor presents the findings in his new book, "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning."
The book's accompanying study suggests those same students showed no significant improvement in the key measures of critical thinking, complex reasoning and writing by the end of their sophomore years. Half of them did not take a single course requiring 20 pages of writing during their prior semester.
Among the findings outlined in the book and report, which tracked students through four years of college:
*Overall, the picture doesn't brighten much over four years. After four years, 36 percent of students did not demonstrate significant improvement, compared to 45 percent after two.
