Those Who Are Left Behind

Abstract

The creation of human capital is a crucial concern in both public policy and moral thought. Ensuring that our youth gain the necessary intellectual tools to be able to reason, to understand and comprehend ideas even when they disagree with them is an essential part of building a strong and vibrant society. The capture of public education by unionized teacher groups, bureaucracies and groups with political agendas is creating a system that leads to centralized control at the expense of the development of the individual.
