Steyn posed a compelling question about governmental interference in education.
The point was made that the ideologies lurking behind much bureaucratic interference not only impacted the subject matter and courses of what was being taught in schools, but had also transformed the moral and educational faculties of the teachers themselves.
An interesting and disturbing thought because if it is indeed true that our teachers and educators have been 'hollowed-out', it means that a reversal in the downward trend of the culture wars is impossible and the current 'revolution' in the West against the neo-feudalism of the elites is but a blip on the screen of our stampede towards 1984.
