The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.””

“Placing too much importance on where a child goes rather than what he does there . . . doesn’t take into account the child’s needs or individuality, and this is true in college selection as well as kindergarten.”
