is to shape citizens of the republic to be capable of the heavy task of self-government. This country’s first real education “expert,” Noah Webster, summarized the purpose of universal public schooling even more directly: “Begin with the infant in his cradle; let the first word he lisps be Washington.”
The radical content of public education today, which many parents were surprised to find emanating from their kitchen tables during forced virtual “learning” over the course of the pandemic, is the end result of a Long March from the cultural Left decades in the making. Even at this late hour, many on the Right, while thankfully starting to realize the political importance of parents’ concerns, still imagine the problem can be solved with a whack-a-mole tactic, targeting particular pieces of objectionable curriculum.
The prerequisite for any attempt to seriously change the direction of the education system is, as it so often is in the rest of the world, real leverage to produce consequences. Absent leverage, many of these reforms will flounder on the complex shores of the system. Objectionable content will be renamed, reshuffled, replaced, and stuck in somewhere else.
