An indictment of the American educational system criticizes the fact that the system has discarded the traditional goals of transmitting knowledge and fostering cognitive skills in favor of building self-esteem and promoting social harmony.

Although this book is almost 30 years old, it is still so relevant to todays education situation in America. Things are actually much worse now. If only our education leaders read this book and listened to Thomas Sowells wise words back then..
Beautifully written and very nicely read. Highly recommend

The publication date for this is from the 1990s. However I feel that a few 21st century items have been sprinkled in.
Problems with educational innovations, teachers unions, sex education, tenured profs, expensive college education and schools dismissing parents is nothing new. So not new that Sowell can dust off an old book and have it republished as a brand new audiobook.
The only thing new to me was "death education". Most of everything else has it's current year (2022) instances that pop up in the news.
The narrator is fine and the book is interesting enough to entertain, if you are into this sort of thing.

So.... nothing much has changed
