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.

As a member of the Baby Boomers, and having decades as a Trainer and often time Adjunct Professor I regrettably choose to no longer engage with academia do the restrictions on how today’s curriculum dictates useless off subject materials to be discussed in the very limited time allocated to classroom hours.

A mandatory read for all parents

Although this book is almost 30 years old, it is still so relevant to todays education situation in America. Things are actually much worse now. If only our education leaders read this book and listened to Thomas Sowells wise words back then..
Beautifully written and very nicely read. Highly recommend
