industrial education and the devolution of marriage

Two things from an interview by Ken Myers with Allan Carlson in a recent issue of the Mars Hill Audio Journal...

Carlson noted that Public Education = Industrial Education-- as in mass-produced through a process akin to industrialization.

Chew on the implications of that for awhile...

And Carlson talked about marriage and its devolution in America since the 19th Century-- through...

-the change from marriage as religious covenant to a private, legal contract in the 19^th Century

-legalized contraception in the mid-20th century

-the genesis of no-fault divorce in the 1960s

-massive changes in related behavioral norms: rampant divorce, the "sexual revolution" and a staggering increase in out-of-wedlock births

From there, Carlson observed that the move to “same-sex marriage” is “a very short step” and that he and others are now trying to defend “a pretty hollow institution”.
