1. On this date in 1859, the most influential man in American education, John Dewey, was born.
Not a good thing.
2. You can’t make Socialists out of individualists — children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.

3. .... this communist gained control over America's schoolchildren.
4. Under communism, the collective is more important than the individual, the very opposite of America's founding.
"We can see that all elements of the socialist ideal--the abolition of private property, family, hierarchies; the hostility toward religion--could be regarded as a manifestation of one basic principle: the suppression of individuality.... All this is inspired by one principle--the destruction of individuality or, at least, its suppression to the point where it would cease to be a social force. "

5. John Dewey was one of the Potemkin Progressives, who visited Bolshevik Russia and gushed over how wonderful it was.
And this man is the greatest single influence on American schoolchildren; his books have been used to train generations of teachers. Even while the Russian civil war was still going on (some seven million killed between 1917 and 1921), Dewey’s books were translated into Russian by the Bolsheviks: they immediately recognized the importance of his ideas to the Soviet collective communist state.
If you wish your children to be educated, public school is not the place for them.
Send them there, and they will vote Democrat.

- 1918, “School’s of Tomorrow,” published in Russian.
- 1919, “How We Think,” published in Russian.
- 1920, “The School and Society,” published in Russian.
- 1921, “Democracy and Education,” published in Russian. The English version, of course, became a bible at Columbia Teacher’s College.

Smart enough to know we need to close our border.
