“It is not subject and activity demands that have overburdened our schools but, demands to solve the problems of a society unwilling to bear its burdens where they should properly be shouldered. A society unwilling to rid itself of racial prejudice asks the schools to achieve desegregation. A society unwilling to talk with its children about love, delight, and commitment asks the schools to teach sex education.” Nel Noddings in The False Promise of the Paideia.
