A new list of books to read! Conservative magazine Human Events published a list of the "most harmful books of the 19th and 20th centuries." The best part are the little blurbs describing why each book is awful. My personal favorite, although there are plenty from which to choose, is the way they describe how John Dewey in "Democracy and Education" has the audacity to suggest "...endowing children with hard knowledge, and encouraged the teaching of thinking 'skills' instead." I mean, clearly, no child left behind is a much better approach to public school education. Also, Greg Saunders has some interesting ideas about books that were left off the list.
