A few months back I posted an excerpt from E.F. Schumacher's Small Is Beautiful so that I would be able to link back to it from time to time.
This is one of those times. That excerpt concludes:
... if it is taken for granted that education is a passport to privilege, then the content of education will not primarily be something to serve the people, but something to serve ourselves, the educated. The privileged minority will wish to be educated in a manner that sets them apart and will inevitably learn and teach the wrong things, that is to say, things that do set them apart. ...
( Bruce Shortt, of something called Exodus Mandate, believes that young Southern Baptists are not sufficiently set apart, )
