Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-08 00:00:00 Ronald Phillips Jr Surprised I hadn't heard of this until now (in print for 14 years). I found Heath's book concise, pointed, and engaging. His argument is much needed, all the more for its unpopular position, and Heath's clairvoyance shines all the brighter in light of 2020's unraveling social and political upheaval. The seeds were sown long ago in public education. I appreciated Heath's recognition, however, that this is not a one-sided issue with one party to blame. Many are complicit, not least the evangelical church, in supporting a fundamentally broken and antithetical system and approach to what should be among our most deeply held convictions, the education of our children. All education is fundamentally and definitionally religious--it's not a matter of whether a faith is taught but of which one. I'm likely to return to this book to reprocess it as well as recommend it. |
