The Underground History of American Schooling

By John Taylor Gatto

John Taylor Gatto's treatment of how the compulsory schooling came to be in the United States. ''He colourfully paints a picture of how Americans moved away from the era of the Founding Fathers, where limited government (libertarian style), individual independence, high moral standards, small-scale local economies, and a firm foundation in family and communities, were the stock and trade of what made America great. What replaced all of this was a much expanded government, big business, the State considering the child as its own (Hegelian style), which disrupted families, local economies, and created the mass culture all of us know so well.''
