$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / Already the spirit of our schooling is \ | permeated with the feeling that every | | subject, every topic, every fact, every | | professed truth must be submitted to a | | certain publicity and impartiality. All | | proffered samples of learning must go | | to the same assay-room and be subjected | | to common tests. It is the essence of | | all dogmatic faiths to hold that any | | such "show-down" is sacrilegious and | | perverse. The characteristic of | | religion, from their point of view, is | | that it is intellectually secret, not | | public; peculiarly revealed, not | | generally known; authoritatively | | declared, not communicated and tested | | in ordinary ways...It is pertinent to | | point out that, as long as religion is | | conceived as it is now by the great | | majority of professed religionists, | | there is something self-contradictory | | in speaking of education in religion in | | the same sense in which we speak of | | education in topics where the method of | | free inquiry has made its way. The | | "religious" would be the last to be | | willing that either the history of the | | content of religion should be taught in | | this spirit; while those to whom the | | scientific standpoint is not merely a | | technical device, but is the embodiment | | of the integrity of mind, must protest | | against its being taught in any other | | spirit. - John Dewey (1859-1953), | | American philosopher, | | | \ from "Democracy in the Schools", 1908 / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
