Classical
education has been growing inside the United States for several decades. Common
Core’s entrance into public and private education has only accelerated the
trend.
“When applied to
education, [progressivism] dictates that students are no longer to be taught to
know permanently true, good, and beautiful things because such things do not
exist (at worst) or are simply unknowable (at best). Instead, the children are
taught to adopt to their environment… If the truth cannot be known and does not govern human societies, then there is nothing to restrain the rulers. If rights are not derived from truth, then they are granted by the ever-changing state. Liberty and knowable truth are interdependent.” — Gene Edward Veith and Andrew Kern, “Classical Education: The Movement Sweeping America”
