Summary: Violence and Compliance, Not Character
Comment: Ryan and Wynne are leaders in the character education movement, yet they believe that the only way for a child to develop character is for expert authorities to inculcate it. Many educators, such as Alan Block, see such authoritarian, didactic forms of education as doing violence to children. Steeped in extrinsic motivations that retard generosity in later life, this form of education is being supported by the Bush administration because it tends to make good soldiers and good consumers, not good people.
