Jonathan Kozol Quotes
Shorn Of Unattractive Language About "robots" Who Will Be Producing Taxes And Not Burglarizing Homes, The General Idea That Schools In Ghettoized Communities Must Settle For A Different Set Of Goals Than Schools That Serve The Children Of The Middle Class And Upper Middle Class Has Been Accepted Widely. And Much Of The Rhetoric Of "rigor" And "high Standards" That We Hear So Frequently, No Matter How Egalitarian In Spirit It May Sound To Some, Is Fatally Belied By Practices That Vulgarize The Intellects Of Children And Take From Their Education Far Too Many Of The Opportunities For Cultural And Critical Reflectiveness Without Which Citizens Become Receptacles For Other People's Ideologies And Ways Of Looking At The World But Lack The Independent Spirits To Create Their Own.
