They agree on one thing: education is the transfer of a way of life.
“The most important fact about the subject of education is that
there is no such thing. Education is not a subject, and it does not deal
in subjects. It is instead the transfer of a way of life.” -G.K. Chesterton
“I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and
won in the public school classroom by teachers that correctly perceive
their role as proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that
recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call divinity in
every human being…The classroom must and will become an arena of
conflict between the old and new — the rotting corpse of
Christianity,together with all its adjacent evils and misery, and the
new faith of humanism, resplendent with the promise of a world in which
the never-realized Christian ideal of ‘love thy neighbor’ will finally
be achieved.” -Humanist Manifesto
