Death by Education
By Selwyn Duke
“You must never let schooling interfere with education,” warned 19th-century novelist Grant Allen. Since then, the interference has become profound enough that we could wonder if no formal education is preferable to today’s miseducation. An uninformed person desiring your good health may not treat you; the misinformed physician will mistreat you. In fact, he will violate the Hippocratic Oath with passion, inspired by the conviction that he’s answering a high calling.
By the November 2020 election, approximately 10 million Americans will have died; mostly older, they’re a demographic that generally votes for conservatives. They will be perhaps more than replaced, though, by approximately 16 million young people who will turn 18 between now and then. Yet these new voters won’t fill their elders’ shoes: They’ll disproportionately cast ballots for hardcore statists, perhaps being the most “liberal” group of 18-year-olds in American history.
While much of their malformation is due to popular culture and poor parenting, another factor is something Abraham Lincoln addressed when saying, “The philosophy of the classroom today will be the philosophy of government tomorrow.” Many think of education as being just about the three r’s, which today, lamentably, have become racism, relativism, and revisionism.

That is too pessimistic. Yes, probably earlier the education quality was better. But give us some chance! Today students have a lot of different problems besides study. Honestly, I am not a diligent student but I try to do my best. I study hard and watching my son and housekeeping. Sometimes it’s really hard to cope with everything. In such cases I use https://www.ozessay.com.au/reflective-essay as an example for my work. But you know, study kills me. I know that having a college or higher education can also equip a person with better life skills and improves an individual’s quality of life. And I think I must spend more time for education and need some support.
