Around 1910, all the plans were in place. John Dewey and his socialist pals would control the schools of education; these schools would indoctrinate the young teachers, who would then be sent out across America to change the country. None of this would result from legislation or public discussion. Everything would be done by stealth.

The question is, how much secrecy is legitimate? Communists would say: we have no power so we have to sneak around the back alleys.

But there's a certain moral shabbiness to all that. You are turning the people in your country into your victims. You're making them accept something that they don't even know they're accepting. This has been the pattern in American education for a century. 

I think many people in education think of themselves as "change agents" and they are comfortable with covert activity. They may be proud of it.

But I also suspect there's another (probably much bigger) group of people who have no idea how manipulated the field of education is. Wouldn't everyone benefit from more candor and transparency?

People ought to at least know what's being done in their name and on behalf of their profession. They ought to know what the real ideological and sociological goals are, for their students and parents.

So that's the motive for writing this article, which is titled "Education as Covert Op."
