  The Messianic Character of...

  Rushdoony's study tells us an important part of American history: exactly what has public education been trying to accomplish? Before the 1830s and Horace Mann, no schools in the U.S. were state supported or state controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian. From Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. The school's basic purpose, according to its own philosophers, is not education in the traditional sense of the 3 R's. Instead, it is to promote "democracy" and "equality," not in their legal or civic sense, but in terms of the engineering of a socialized citizenry. Public education became the means of creating a social order of the educators design. Such men saw themselves and the school in messianic terms. This book was instrumental in launching the Christian school and homeschool movements.

  “Amazing….Explores human courage under the most trying circumstances.” —New York Post“An inspirational story about business, medical science, and one father’s refusal to give up hope.” —Boston GlobeThe book that inspired the movie, Extraordinary Measures, starring Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser, and Keri Russell, The Cure by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Geeta Anand is the remarkable true story of one father’s determination to find a cure for his terminally sick children even if it meant he had to build a business from scratch to do so. At once a riveting story of the birth of an enterprise—ala Tracy Kidder’s The Soul of a New Machine—and a inspiring tale of the indomitable human spirit in the vein of Erin Brockovich and A Civil Action, The Cure is a testament to ingenuity, unflagging will, and unconquerable love.

  "School and Society" is a book written by John Dewey, a philosopher and educator, in 1899. In this book, Dewey advocates for a more progressive and democratic approach to education that emphasizes the importance of practical learning and social experience. 
  Dewey argues that traditional education, which focuses on rote memorization and standardized testing, fails to prepare students for real-life situations and inhibits their ability to think critically and creatively. Instead, he suggests that education should be based on the interests and experiences of the students, and should involve hands-on activities and problem-solving exercises. 
  Furthermore, Dewey believes that education should not be isolated from society, but should be integrated into the community and reflect the values and needs of the society. He asserts that education should help students develop social consciousness and promote democracy by encouraging cooperation, tolerance, and social responsibility. 
  Overall, "School and Society" is a seminal work in the history of education, as it paved the way for the development of progressive education, which continues to influence educational theory and practice to this day
