John Leo does a bang-up job at Minding the Campus in reviewing a new report, “The Scandal of Social Work,” by the National Association of Scholars. The study dissects major social work programs in the nation and concludes they “have lost sight of the difference between instruction and indoctrination to a scandalous extent.” It denounces in particular two core features of this discipline, namely, the infamous disposition theory and social justice requirements.

Unfortunately, as Leo justly laments, this ideology

is intact and strongly holds sway in the schools. It dovetails with the general attitude on campuses that promoting liberal advocacy in the classroom is legitimate and necessary. So long as government agencies collaborate with the social work programs and ed schools, reform will remain a long way off.
