A lot depends upon how one interprets them
"The philosophy in the classroom today is the philosophy of the government " by Norman Williams
I am not sure it is true. I believe that parents and citizens are responsible for their schools and that which is taught in the classroom. When they abdicate that responsibility children, youth, and our culture suffers.
"The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world."
by George Orwell
I think that our concepts of honesty, experience, and good evidence could take up a lot of slake.
"The public will believe anything so long as it is not founded on truth."
By Edith Sitwell
This seems an exaggeration and not quite true. It seems that most of our public is educated in our public education systems. It seems that the public is made up of the ones responsible of our public education systems. What happens when they fail to honor their responsibility.
"Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea"
That is republicanism and democracy and the idea that governance is in the hands of the citizens and is their responsibility. When they do not uphold that responsibility the fall into ignorance.
by John Gunther
What do you think? Who is responsible for you and yours? Who is responsible for your neighborhood? Your health? Your organization. Your county? Your co-operation? Your education?
