I'll ignore everyone else here, but the comment on Dewey from that quote is absurd and a total mischaracterization (no doubt to discredit him because of ideological bias). Ironically, Dewey was the champion and creator of child centered, project based, and competency oriented education. Nothing could be further from either destroying people's reasoning capabilities, or deliberately undermining a person's potential, creativity and intelligence in service of the State. Dewey's rolling over in his grave!
