Why people recommend it
Education by Thomas Sowel is an insightful examination of the American education system and the historical and ideological shifts that have influenced modern schooling. Candace Owens recommended this book on multiple occasions during her podcast Candace, specifically in episodes from September and October 2025. During her discussion with Norman Finkelstein and in earlier solo episodes, Owens implored her listeners to read the work, arguing that schools function effectively as indoctrination camps. She described the text as a must-read for parents that transcends traditional left-right politics, detailing how it explains the decline, deception, and dogmas inherent in the system and how children are programmed. Owens emphasized that once someone reads the book, they cannot unread it, noting that it serves as a terrifying yet necessary read for parents looking to understand what has been happening within educational institutions, why it is happening, and what the ultimate goals of these programs are.

“Well, I'd start with inside the American education system. Um, I think that really does a really good job of illustrating what's been happening and why it's happening and what the ultimate goal is. And it's a terrifying read for parents and we need to be, as I say, just as radical as they were when they established this system.”
