  18. @Packhorse-bh8qn I'll give you a brief answer to your question but first we need to get a couple of things straight A. You don't get to give me homework assignments B. I find basic questions like this insulting. While I understand that you do not have any way of knowing this I am an exceptionally bright 66-year-old man who has been a knowledge junkie since the age of eight. Three degrees, two of them the masters degrees in widely separated disciplines, two of them in the physical sciences, successful in a mind-boggling complex discipline the required expert level of knowledge in several areas and a working knowledge of about 8 more. I have read approximately 1,500 books, a thousand of them non-fiction history. My TV viewing consists of documentaries and news (well you can add NFL football to that list in the fall). I also discuss these kinds of issues all the time with a variety of extremely bright highly educated well read friends (two of then multiplily published authors a third a well known microbiologist and geneticist). I suspect that I know more than you across at least a dozen different disciplines. C. Lots of people call me and ask me questions all the time and I don't mind answering them because they're asking questions that they don't already know the answer to. This is in my private life as well as at work where I was known as The answer Man. John Dewey among other things was an early 20th century social education reformer. His most dangerous idea is that the school's job to "socially mold" students in other words going well beyond the transfer of knowledge. I've always thought this is an extremely dangerous idea that the state has no business trying to mold children's views and and that this has become even more dangerous over the last 30 years as the left has expanded its stranglehold on higher education and has extended it's reach into K through 12 education. Education is one of a number of issues that I follow very closely. As an arch conservative I find these ideas very disturbing. Are you happy now?
