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.

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.
2+2=5 did not spring from the Right Einstein.
Feel good education, right wing now is it? I think not.
