Every education teaches a worldview

The modern world has committed itself to two totally different and inconsistent conceptions about education.  It is always trying to expand the scope of education; and always trying to exclude from it all religion and philosophy.  But this is sheer nonsense.  (Fn1.)  Every education teaches a philosophy; if not by dogma then by suggestion, by implication, by atmosphere.  Every part of that education has a  connection with every other part.  If it does not all combine to convey some general view of life, it is not an education at all.  (Fn2.)
