The classical emphasis on  \u201ccommunity\u201d was replaced by an emphasis on \u201csociety\u201d (see the difference?).  Theologically, love of neighbor was replaced by love of country.  Education became compulsory, shifting the authority in educational matters from the parents to the state.  Secular democratic education was also utopian (\u201cProtestantism without faith\u201d), Hegelian (history seen as a progression culminating in today), and Prussian (drawing on that militaristic state\u2019s innovations in regulation).<\/p>\n<div id=\"premium-content\">\n1910-today.
