Evidence

The intermingling in the school of youth of different races, differing religions, and unlike customs creates for all a new and broader environment. Common subject matter accustoms all to a unity of outlook upon a broader horizon than is visible to the members of any group while it is isolated… . A society which is mobile and full of channels for the distribution of a change occurring anywhere, must see to it that its members are educated to personal initiative and adaptability. — Samuel Bowles and Herbert Gintis, Schooling in Capitalist America, 314
