Fahrenheit 451 and the Education System

Abstract

We use this book as a launching pad to comment on the sad state of modern education. We are particularly critical of public schools, but even ostensibly private ones come under our microscope. Bradbury’s book deprecates book burning.  Our modern educational establishments have not yet taken up that practice, but by banning statues, precluding certain speakers from campus, biasing the professoriate in one direction, engaging in cultural Marxism, this may not lie all too far into the future.
