Industry Reviews
"A scathing critique that grabs America's educational establishment by the scruff of the neck and shakes it until its trendy goals of building self-esteem, clarifying values, and evaluating feelings rattle hollowly where the three Rs ought to be....Parents and visionary educators, if not educrats, should sit up and take notice."
Sage
"This intelligent and devastating book...brings together every aspect of the current disaster...all in clear, well-researched detail."
Dossey
"Definitive...this excellent book shows us...who has undertaken the project of deliberately dumbing down the curriculum; the reasons they give for it and the real reasons."
Dossey
"A spirited call-to-arms...Sykes asks brave questions."
