Praise for WEAPONS OF MASS INSTRUCTION John Taylor Gatto has been a hero of mine for years. He has the courage to challenge an educational system that is obsolete and out of touch with reality. Years ago, he gave me the courage to speak out and write my books. I trust this book will give you the courage to speak out. - ROBERT KIYOSAKI, author, Rich Dad, Poor Dad For over 20 years John Taylor Gatto has been working tirelessly to teach us the truth about our educational system - that compulsory schooling does not work to foster a democratic way oflife! - MARY LEu~, Founder of the Albany Free School All of Gatto's words shine. Let's have Gatto as US Secretary of Education and then, this time, he can blow it all up! - GEORGE MEEGAN, author of The Longest Walk and world record holder, longest unbroken march in human history We accept Mr Gatto's invitation to an open conspiracy against forced schooling here in Europe as well. The virtues of this book, its precise ideas, realistic proposals and sharp conscience, class it among the best works of Thoreau, Jefferson, Hume or Diderot. A masterly book. - The Kadmos Paris Magazine, Paris, October 2008. In Weapons of Mass Instruction, John Taylor Gatto points out the folly of the business of American education, especially standardized testing. Listen up, for children's sake! - WENDY ZEIGLER, artist and former student of John Taylor Gatto.
It happens rarely, but whenever I do read a newspaper, listen to the radio, or watch television, on a variety of topics, I find myself wondering, "How How can this happen How can people be so gullible" Gatto has an answer and it is disturbing as well as compelling: 20th Century US education. His argument renews gratitude to my father for having given me the chance to dodge full immersion in the homogenizing machine, and makes me more determined than ever to pass this gift of becoming an individual on to my own children. - TANIA AEBI, author of Maiden Voyage and world record holder, first circumnavigation of the world by a solo female sailor I run a school. John Gatto is my conscience. He has taught me to hate school and love learning. This book will do that for others, and we need them! - BECKY ELDER, Northfield School of The Liberal Arts John Taylor Gatto explains how compulsory public schools train children to be employees and consumers instead ofleaders and achievers in a free America. - PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY, president of Eagle Forum John Taylor Gatto has forcefully presented the case that ... a people who believe in freedom will never emerge from a system that starts with coercion. - MICHAEL P. FARRIS Chairman, Home School Legal Defense Association John Taylor Gatto reminds us that children aren't just a future workforce in need of training. They're individuals curious about the world, and citizens of a self-governing republic. Our decisions about education should reflect that. -DAVID BOAz Executive Vice President, Cato Institute, author, Libertarianism: A Primer and The Politics of Freedom
