I don't really have the background to argue the historical context, but that aside, I think the crucial argument here is that our educational system isn't serving an important purpose that it could (should) be serving, because it's being held back by market pressures. That's at least worth considering, no? Even if the paragraph you quoted is uh a steaming hot pile of shit (If you ever feel like getting really unreasonably angry, he wrote a whole book)
