Uploaded by: wbbrwsr1
Video Description:
Follow up interview of John Taylor Gatto from December 7, 2007. Check my favorites for the first interview from November 28, 2007. There is a third interview as well.
John Taylor Gatto (author of The Underground History of Education (which is free on his website)) speaks with Alex Jones about the who, what, and why of the foundations of the system of education we enjoy today in the United States.
From the Table of Contents on Gatto's webpage:
Chapter Four
I Quit, I Think
I lived through the great transformation which turned schools from often useful places into laboratories of state experimentation with the lives of children, a form of pornography masquerading as pedagogical science. All theories of child-rearing talk in averages, but the evidence of your own eyes and ears tells you that average men and women don't really exist except as a statistical conceit.
Chapter Seven
The Prussian Connection
In 1935, at the University of Chicago's experimental school where John Dewey had once held sway, Howard C. Hill, head of the social science department, published an inspirational textbook called The Life and Work of the Citizen. The title page clearly shows four cartoon hands symbolizing law, order, science, and the trades interlocked to form a perfect swastika. By 1935, Prussian pattern and Prussian goals had embedded themselves so deeply into the vitals of institutional schooling that hardly a soul noticed the traditional purposes of the enterprise were being abandoned.

| I'm not one who is quick to judge but you clearly have a misunderstanding of the ideas of John Dewey. if you care to know more about Dewey please read Education and Democracy instead of looking for quotes online. The quote you provided is taken out of context and Dewey had as honest an interest in the development of all children's ability to learn (including learning to read). |

| To ignore him is to guarantee the further dumbing-down of citizens. Also suggest reading Thomas Sowell's: Inside American Education. |
| Democracy and ... ( 3 months ago by principalwilkins) |
| Democracy and Education was written for school teachers in training. He does not reveal his real intent in that book, it is meant for general public consumption. You need to read what was written for his friends and associates. Those provide an entirely different picture. |
| John Dewey said it ... ( 2 months ago by DanLackey) |
| John Dewey said it was a crime to teach children to read. This is what "Alex" says on this tape. WHERE pray tell did Dewey say THAT? Do NOT confuse John Dewey with the Woodrow Wilsonites who truly wanted to dumb the population down. Also the Progressive Ed movement was highly critical of the State and the Corporation. However, I admire Gatto and feel there is much good in his books. Does his criticism of institutional schooling extend to parochial education, especially Catholic parochial ed? |

| Dear Principal Wilkins: I wish you well, and let me know if you are able how the experiment turns out. Your answers to my questions seem intelligent guesses, so I would still be interested to see where Gatto criticizes parochial ed and in what sense if any Dewey condemns reading. But those are my research projects not yours and I thank you for your reply. DRL |
