“All of which underlines a point that is worth restating: like energy, we cannot remove authority; we can only move it elsewhere. The attempts by Rousseau and his ideological successors to remove or lessen the influence of parents and teachers in the hope that children would grow up more ‘authentically’ was, at best, desperately naïve. It simply gave way to other new and untested authorities, the influence of which is only now starting to come in to view.”
