Around 1900, the Progressives effectively scuttled the very idea that we should look to the past for insights about anything—certainly for education. Progressives built a “history-phobic” value system into our social studies mind-set. Old is yesterday. Old is irrelevant. Old is outdated. Progressives sunk the very idea that we could or should look to the past for insights about how to live or learn. This is why few, if any, modern public or Christian schools study much history before America’s founding.
