Education for Liberty and Justice

 

Besides your information is incomplete.  We replaced our liberal education with education for technology for military and industrial purpose.  We stopped transmitting our culture and left moral training to the church, making a big mess of things!  This includes Christians saying, "oh, then you don't have God and morals".   Every nation must have moral citizens and their holy books are not the only source of morality.   When we speak as though only those who believe as we do have God and morals, we destroy democracy!   These Christians have become our worst problem.  When I say we must return to education for good moral judgment, they get defensive and say they don't want anyone teaching their children morals.  This is a very poor understanding of God and morals.

 

 

 A moral is a matter of cause and effect.  We would read our children moral stories, such as "The Little Red Hen" and ask, "What is the moral of that story?".  The moral of "The Little Red Hen" story is, no one would help her make bread so she didn't share it.   We used the such literature and the classics and hero stories to teach good moral judgment.   Greek mythology gives us some of the very best moral stories, and are excellent at creating a moral and just society, and at transitioning to youth to adulthood.  But with education for technology, we did as the Germans did, leaving moral education to the church, destroyed our national heroes, and praising efficiency,  with huge social and political ramifications!
