Mao and Hitler and Kinsey (Oh My).
Wonkette point me in the direction of this most important list. (You know how I love me some lists.) Human Events Online presents THE TEN MOST HARMFUL BOOKS OF THE 19TH AND 20TH CENTURY. Check it:
- The Communist Manifesto by Marx/Engles
- Mein Kempf by Hitler
- Quotations from Chairman Mao by Mao
- The Kinsey Report by Kinsey
- Democracy amd Education by Dewey
- Das Kapital by Marx
- The Feminine Mystique by Freidan
- The Course of Positive Philosophy by Conte
- Beyond Good and Evil by Nietzche
- General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money by Keynes
I understand the inclusion of books by insane psychopaths (i.e. Hitler, Kinsey). No arguing there. I understand the Mao and the Marx entries. (Hell, I agree. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.) But does John Dewey really deserve that fifth slot? His crimes (according to the Human Events Panel): writing in "pompous and opaque prose" and urging "the teaching of 'thinking skills'" which would go on to "nurture the Clinton generation." Damn that Dewey!
What's crazy about the Friedan entry is that they spend so little time on what her book espouses and more on gossip gleaned from a Salon.com (!) review of Friedan bio. ("The author documents that 'Friedan was from her college days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Marxist, the political intimate of the leaders of America’s Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover of a young Communist physicist working on atomic bomb projects in Berkeley’s radiation lab with J. Robert Oppenheimer.'") At least she wasn't a commie lesbo!
I hope that was helpful, kids. Now you know which books are acceptable to bring to this weekend's Sean Hannity - Let Freedom RingTM Book Burning Party.

I love, obviously, "The Nazis loved Nietzsche," which nicely ignores the fact that Nietzsche despised antisemitism and German nationalism. But I think the best is that "On Liberty" gets an "Honorable Mention." Indeed, all that individual liberty crap has destroyed America.
PS: lots of liberal intellectuals hate that Dewey book too. Richard Hofstadter goes after Dewey in both "Social Darwinism In American Thought" and "Anti-Intellectualism In American Life." Dewey can suck my decimal system.
Education isn't simply to peruse and compose. It is tied in with utilizing education for their own focal points and to use the learning for their development. Likewise one can lead their own existence without relying upon others. It isn't tied in with making individuals proficient, proficiency is completely unique education. Proficiency is intended for capacity to peruse and compose, while instruction is discovering the purpose for everything and utilizing the perusing composing aptitudes to enhance their lives.
Education is the procedure of learning and abilities that individuals are relied upon to have in your general public. A decent education builds up a manner of thinking notwithstanding learning acknowledged certainties. It likewise empowers scholarly interest, which will prompt deep-rooted learning.
