Kidogo's World: Cradle of Unreason
Kidogo's World
After sober and judicious consideration, and weighing one thing against another in the interests of reasonable compromise, H.L. Mencken concluded that a startling and dramatic improvement in American education required only that we hang all the professors and burn down the schools. His uncharacteristically moderate proposal was not adopted. Those who actually knew more about education than Mencken did could see that his plan was nothing more than cosmetic and would in fact provide only an outward appearance of improvement. Those who knew less, on the other hand, had somewhat more elaborate plans of their own, and they just happened to be in charge of the schools.

Another selection excerpted from The Treasury, a volume of evidence bound with Remarkable Remedy.
IN A TIME when in the name of rights we lose our rights, in the name of liberation we are put in bondage, in the name of equality and brotherhood hate is incited and discrimination enforced, and in the name of truth we hear lies -- in short, when each of us is challenged "to keep [our] head when all about [us] are losing theirs and blaming it on [us]" -- it is good to remember the old adage that it's always darkest just before the dawn.
Five books in particular, each with a different perspective, shine a light in the darkness of academe, which is the cradle of unreason; two of these books herald a new day about to dawn. Quotations in plain type are from the authors' own pens. Self-incriminating evidence from the pens of the perpetrators of the darkness are in bold type.
