SynopsisThomas Sowell argues that the educational establishment of the United States - a vast tax-supported empire existing quasi-independently within American society - is morally and intellectually bankrupt. He suggests in a top-to-bottom tour of the mismanaged insitutions, cynical leadership and tendentious programmes of American education, that deceptions and dogmas have concealed or sought to justify the steep and dangerous decline in educational standards and practices across the board., An illuminating examination of the deterioration of the current school system in America, backed by detailed research and shocking statistics. An indictment of the American educational system criticizes the fact that the system has discarded the traditional goals of transmitting knowledge and fostering cognitive skills in favor of building self-esteem and promoting social harmony.
