Much of Johnson’s Great Society push came from wanting to push the social vision of the man he called “Uncle Johnny”–John Dewey. Radical national ed reform was a big part of the dynamics of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. LBJ did not get the vision but the change from transmitting knowledge to changing the students affectively by altering values, attitudes, and emotions sure did start the erosion of K-12 and higher ed in this country.
And the Clintons tried again and were only partially successful in the 90s. Now Obama is going to finally implement Dewey’s vision to use education to remake American students emotionally and making social interaction and paper credentialing the function of all education.
Financially dependent as the video described is tragic. Mentally and emotionally dependent because the federal government regards personality as malleable and something to be targeted for political gain means that there are no longer any real barriers to political intrusion.

Nationally mandated Transformational Outcomes Education Equals the Dependency model on steroids.
