John Dewey and Public School Indoctrination
In the twentieth century, John Dewey was considered a great intellectual. He is credited with developing the modern public school system. Dewey had some odd and contradictory ideas in his worldview. He was an atheist and signer of the atheistic Humanist Manifesto, which openly admitted that it was a religion. Also, he did not believe in absolute truth or knowledge.
It is ironic that an educator did not believe in knowledge. Worse, his rejection of God made him blind to the fact that logic comes from God — without God, morality, knowledge, wisdom, logic, and science are impossible!
Notably, John Dewey was a teacher at a prestigious university at a critical time in American history. During his lifetime, multiple streams of unbelief converged to bombard culture. These ideas included liberal theology that undermined the reliability of the Bible, uniformitarian geology that assumed billions of years of earth history, Darwinian evolution that taught the naturalistic origins and development of biological life-forms, and Marxism, which attempted to upend the social order. For nearly two hundred years, American culture has endured an onslaught of secular ideologies from multiple directions. These ideas gradually and ultimately undermined the Christian foundations of the United States. And John Dewey was there cheering on this secular march through his work in public education.
