Further Notes on Bloom and the New Bloomusalem.
Greene, Maxine
Phi Delta Kappan, v69 n10 p755-60 Jun 1988
Critiques Allan Bloom's "Closing of the American Mind" for idealizing "mind" as a container (casket) open only to indifference or the quest for certitude. Unlike Bloom, teacher educators deal with young people reared in a consumerist world dominated by the electronic media and beset with social realities like AIDS, homeless families, and gentrified cities.
