"While maintaining a high level discourse, Mrs. Duffy clarifies a very complex issue with humanity in a way that puts humanists to shame. This brilliantly-argued book exposes the profoundly radical social engineering concealed inside the rhetoric of Goals 2000 and Outcome-Based Education. Scrupulously fair-minded, Mrs. Duffy reveals the worldview of state planners who worship predictable order over freewill dynamism and a state-regulated security over liberty. I recommend Government Nannies wholeheartedly."
John Taylor Gatto, Former New York City and New York State Teacher of the Year and author of Dumbing us Down, The Exhausted School, and the new book The Underground History of American Education
"If you think outcome- based education is an obscure bureaucratic fad that doesn't affect you and your family, you need to read this book."
David Mason, Director, Congress Project, Heritage Foundation
"As someone who thinks of herself as a secular homeschooler I picked this up formt he library ready to expect it to be sprinkled throughout with a big bend toward Christianity. How wonderful that it was not. What an intelligent, informative, easy to follow read. Cathy Duffy, I thank you."
