This book is filled with examples of horrible and outrageous happenings in America's schools. The "horrible examples" were collected from teachers and parents, state and local school board members, state legislative files, a U.S. Senate speech about new math which would be funny if not so tragic, newspaper articles about moral outrages in the nation's schools and illustrations from school textbooks. Educational goals and what is taught and how it is taught have changed in the last 65 years. It was done by a group of education "reformers" who over 65 years ago said they would use schools to produce "a new social order." The changes have transformed how we think and live. That's what this book is about. - Introduction.
