Bernard Iddings Bell argued that colleges risk turning students into "mental and ethical jellyfish" by focusing solely on facts without fostering deeper understanding of truth, beauty, and goodness.
The current educational debate mirrors Bell’s concerns as legislators attempt to integrate religious teachings into schools, raising questions about values, ethics, and the role of religion in public education.
While some view the inclusion of religious values in education as essential, others warn that it can lead to manipulation by religious conservatives for political gain.
Ultimately, the challenge remains for educational institutions to not only impart knowledge but also to guide students in exploring life's bigger questions, potentially including a spiritual aspect.
