The Elective System

Sharing Options

“The market system works just fine when we are seeking the kind of toothpaste that suits us best. But when the true, the good, and the beautiful are made into elective courses, no one should be surprised when freshmen consistently sign up for the far more popular courses promoting the false, the wrong, and the ugly. When colleges ceased passing on an inherited body of knowledge and began catering to the interests and desires of the public, the destruction was complete” (

The Paideia of God, p. 117).
