Sykes Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus by Dinesh D'Souza Tenured Radicals: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Higher Education by Roger Kimball Leasing the Ivory Tower: The Corporate Takeover of Academia by Lawrence C. Soley The following books are written by members of the education or psychology establishment. They are generally "logical" within the framework of their own (generally unexamined or incorrect) basic assumptions, but the conclusions and results of applying their methods are largely disastrous. B. F.Skinner raised his daughter in a "Skinner Box" (a large rat box...) - the "ultimate learning machine" - she committed suicide at age 21. So much for B.F. Skinner's methods! Read them with a very careful eye. John Dewey, the recognized "father" of American education, chronically writes in abstract broad generalities which are almost never applied to actual real-life situations. In fact, most of what he says CAN'T be applied in real-life. But that hasn't stopped almost 100 years of sappy intellectuals and educationists from trying. The result is a sabotaged modern education system. Politician's continually assert "more money to education" as a solution for the failures of modern public education, but as long as the money funds the methods of psychology this is doomed to failure. One must realize that "modern education" is ONLY "modern" PSYCHOLOGY. Sadly, "more money to education" within the current educational context will only lead to more failures.
