In 1913, Frederick T. Gates, working through Rockefeller’s General Education Board, wrote a sentence that still haunts modern education: “We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or of science.” This essay traces how that hidden logic of sorting, usefulness and credentialed obedience still shapes schools, universities and design education and why Richard Feynman’s story offers a powerful escape route. Against a system that trains students to fit into the world as it is, The New Art School asks a more dangerous question: what if every designer were educated to think, see, question and remake the world?
