Here’s a story that prompted Duane Lester to allude to Huxley’s Brave New World. It may seem like satirical science fiction — as if, like Woody Allen in Sleeper, we had awakened to discover it is 2173 — but it is an all-too-real fact: “Experts” have determined that what’s wrong with our education system is that […]
