I’m going to repost a review of Why Johnny Can’t Think
====
“Why Johnny Can’t Think” shows that leftism means, “Professors should rule the world.” It demonstrates why each totally inbred generation of professors chooses a new generation of professors that is even more inbred and leftist and what actually happens when college graduates and professors actually try ruling the world through socialism, through criminal “rehabilitation,” and through the New Education. Whatever they call it, socialism or environmentalism or multiculturalism, each leftist program just means that professors should rule the world. And every time they try, it is a disaster. But college graduates keep pushing new leftists policies. That what they learned in school. That’s what we pay professors to teach them in school. Joe Sobran says in the foreword: “A former professor himself, Bob Whitaker believes that formal education has become dangerous, and often fatal, to common sense. This is nothing new, but Americans believe so deeply in formal education that they routinely sacrifice their children’s youth to it, often paying staggering amounts of money to shield them from the real world… “…the “social” sciences are another matter. These “social” sciences are often directly contradicted by the hard sciences. They are built on ideas and theories that are not only unproven, but demonstrably and obviously false. Yet they are aggressively promoted by the academy, followed by the media and the government, and anyone who openly denies them can forget about a career in these institutions. Even real scientists are forced to bow to the idols of “social” science… “As Whitaker reminds us, formal education is far and away the biggest industry in the United States. Americans pay trillions of dollars, in both taxes and private tuition, to have their children indoctrinated in a false and destructive ideology, which serves as the basis for a series of disastrous public policies. In Whitaker’s words, “Nothing liberals do ever WORKS.”

Which is a nice follow up to my recent post Social Proof.

Ask the people who got treatment under medicare if liberalism works or would they prefer to die without treatment? Ask seniors and children if they prefer to starve rather then except social security or food stamps! Liberalism works or communism would have taken over this country a long time ago and put you in gulags! Liberalisms motto you don’t have to shoot conservatives to stop children from starving!
When you rob Peter to pay Paul there is no doubt that Paul will be happy. The question is “will Peter be happy?” See you in November.
And then you run into an even more fundamental problem. Eventually you run out of other people’s money. At which point the scheme collapses. See R,USS. Or maybe France is more to your liking. You can watch that one in real time if you missed R, USS.
