Bestor Agonistes.
Kliebard, Herbert M.
Educational Studies: A Journal in the Foundations of Education, v17 n4 p542-49 Win 1986
Essay review of Arthur Bestor's "Educational Wastelands: The Retreat from Learning in our Public Schools." Review maintains that the book is still an eloquent attack on the misguided progressive education practices of the 1950s but is flawed as a serious statement of the type of liberal education we should strive for.
