This document is the transcript of a speech given by Jacqueline Lawrence in 1981 about issues in education. The key points are:
1) Lawrence argues that public school education has shifted its focus from cognitive learning to manipulating students' feelings, attitudes, and beliefs through the "affective domain."
2) This shift occurred with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, which provided funding to implement new educational programs and teaching methods developed by theorists and social planners.
3) Lawrence is critical of these "educational theorists" and the "education establishment" for gaining unprecedented access into students' private lives and domains through the emphasis on students' psyches rather than their intellects.
