It’s people like this who give Ivy League professors a bad name:
April 1972 In his keynote address to the Association for Childhood Education International, Chester M. Pierce, Professor of Education and Psychiatry in the Faculty of Medicine at Harvard University, proclaims: Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being. It’s up to you, teachers, to make all of these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.
Go for it, Teach.
BTW, have some sources?

There is a passage in one of Joe Orton’s plays which seems to sum up the Chester M. Pierce world-view, albeit in a British context:
CIVILIAN: The police force used to have a reputation for integrity.
COP: That was a mistake which has been rectified.
The news that American five-year-olds should still have retained lunatic beliefs in a supernatural being as late as 1972 – fully nine years after Madalyn Murray O’Hair and the Supreme Court turned their country’s ruling class into a Hoxha-type museum of atheism – would almost make me sorry for Pierce if I had not steeled myself against feeling sorry for both Harvard academics and psychiatry professors.
