Horace Mann
The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the same school Trump attended and constantly trumpets as proof of his intellect, joined US News and World Report officially proclaiming studies that show the United States has surpassed both Germany and the United Kingdom (amongst all others) as the acknowledge greatest education system in the World.
With Trump’s praise Musk now ends, the most glorious effort, copied the world over. It was the 1830’s when Horace Mann hit full stride, forever earning him the title, The Father of American Education on these principles:
- The public should no longer remain ignorant.
- Education should be paid for, controlled, and sustained by an interested public.
- Education will be best provided in schools that embrace children from a variety of backgrounds.
- Education must be non-sectarian.
- Education must be taught using the tenets of a free society.
- Education should be provided by well-trained, professional teachers.
Why are we unable to understand that education, our ability to know, is the only thing that separates us from the lowliest of other species on the planet?
