Arthur Bestor has the undisputed honor to be the first college professor who openly and effectively challenged the pseudo-educational gang that has now virtually consolidated its control of the public schools and is zealously proceeding to take over the colleges.
When it became known that Bestor’s first book on this subject, Educational Wastelands (1953), was in preparation, the professors of academic subjects looked on with amusement and hope as swarms of pedagogues, pale and gesticulating like a rout of specters affrighted by the cock’s crow, streamed in to emergency meetings in the “colleges” of “education,” appointed committees, and hustled into executive sessions.
