'I am an American Student, 13 years old and in the 9th grade. ... and because you have been such a courageous and creative man, perhaps you can offer a brief statement on what you think should be the aim of education. ...'

Dear Mark Orfinger,
Thank you for your admirable letter which I read with great interest. ...
I believe that the main object of education should be to encourage the young to question and to doubt those things which have been taken for granted. What is important is independence of mind. What is bad in education is the unwillingness to permit students to challenge those views which are accepted and those people who are in power. It is necessary for new ideas to emerge, that young people have every encouragement to fundamentally disagree with the stupidities of their day. Most people who are respectable, and most ideas which are considered to be fundamental are barriers to human achievement. ...
With good wishes,
Yours sincerely
Bertrand Russell
