The Goose-step: A Study of American Education

"The Goose-step: A Study of American Education" is a critical examination of the American education system written by Upton Sinclair and published in 1923. In this incisive analysis, Sinclair scrutinizes the educational practices and ideologies prevalent in American schools, arguing that they promote conformity, obedience, and militarism rather than critical thinking and individuality. Drawing on his own experiences as a student and educator, as well as extensive research, Sinclair exposes the ways in which the educational system stifles creativity, perpetuates inequality, and serves the interests of the ruling elite. Through vivid examples and persuasive arguments, he advocates for a radical overhaul of the educational system to prioritize intellectual freedom, social justice, and democratic principles. "The Goose-step" remains a provocative and influential critique of American education, challenging readers to reevaluate the purpose and values of schooling in society.
