I didn't read the whole article, but it seems about 10% truth, 90% natural fallacy.

  Could you please explain what you mean?

    Not the GP, but I believe jeffdavis is referring to the naturalistic fallacy: wherein an appeal to nature is made as a way of arguing a point (e.g. vanilla extract is better than synthetic vanillin, even though it's the same molecule). Logically there's nothing intrinsically more correct about things from nature that makes your point valid. However, I think GP should read the entire article, because the aims of the modern education system are well documented in their intent to create compliant workers. The authors analogy of humans to Zoo animals makes a lot of sense, given that we are only Mammals, after all.
