Not long after sending in my review of Cry Havoc!, I meandered over to City Journal again, where there is an article about a "radical math" conference focusing on using math to propagandize against the free market and Western civilization.

over 400 high school math teachers and education professors gathered in Brooklyn for a three-day conference, titled “Creating Balance in an Unjust World: Math Education and Social Justice.” Prominently displayed on the official program’s first page was a passage from Paulo Freire, the Brazilian Marxist educator and icon of the teaching-for-social-justice movement.

Cry Havoc! focuses on the radical critical theory of the Frankfurt School and not the classic economic Marxism of this conference, but the two go hand in hand. As de Toledano notes, "from the start, the Frankfurt School had preached that revolutions of the past had failed because those who made them still clung to an 'authoritarianism bred by the patriarchal family.'" Marx himself called for the destruction of the family in the Communist Manifesto. Even Plato in The Republic recognized that family and private property go together, and eliminated them from the lives of his Guardians.

Thanks to the legacy of John Dewey, the Frankfurt School and their allies, the educational establishment remains the last great redoubt of Marxism (neo and otherwise) in America.
