New Library Topic: Progressive Education since WWII

For those of you wondering what has caused the much-discussed decline in education, take a close look at the last sixty years. As our new topic Progressive Education since WWII shows, progressive ideas have had a tremendous impact on American education in the last half-century, and not necessarily for the better. "[P]rogressive education, as interpreted since the 1960s, has yielded regressive results," says William Donohue of the Heritage Foundation.

To be sure, some of the goals progressives pursued, such as desegregation and equal access to education, are laudable. But they did not stop there; with much assistance from the government, progressives have been transforming our schools into social engineering laboratories in which academic excellence is supplanted by concerns about self-esteem, political correctness, race/class/gender issues and multiculturalism.
