Curriculum as Control

"Whoever determines what alternatives shall be made known to man controls what that man shall choose from." - Ralph Barton Perry

"He is [controlled] in proportion as he is denied access to any ideas, or is confined to any range of ideas short of the totality of relevant possibilities."

Curriculum confines children to Romeo and Juliet and restricts them from Troilus and Cressida, to Brave New World and from Island.
