On his blog, James Bartholomew describes a visit to St Pauls - a leading boys' independent school in London.
The sixth form boys had very little idea of the reality of life before today's welfare state, greatly underrating health and education provision in the past, and with little conception of past generations' independence, a partial view fed by their highly left-wing teachers.
As Bartholomew says, if it is like this even in private schools, what sort of message is being promoted in state secondary schools?
No wonder people find it so hard to consider moving beyond the welfare state.
