Camille Paglia

"...But then I gulped when Obama also pleded educational reform by putting state-of-the-art computers in every classroom. Groan. Computers alone will never solve the educational crisis in this country. They are tools and facilitators, not primary conveyors of Knowledge. Packing his team with shiny Harvard retreads, Obama missed a golden opportunity to link his public works project with a national revalorization of the trades. Practical training in hands-on vocational skills is desperately needed in the country, where liberal arts education has become a soggy boondoggle, obscenely expensive and dilutedby propaganda and groupthink..." Tal e qual as modernices socráticas. Camille Paglia, apoiante de Obama, é uma cabeça independente. De toda a prata cá da casa também prefiro Sócrates, mas há coisas que escapam ao meu entendimento.
