Are we creating Men without Chests?

Are we creating Men without Chests? | Intellectual Takeout:
"Such is the tragi-comedy of our situation – we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are rendering impossible.
Much can be said and has been said about modern education.
The catchphrase that seems to capture it best is ‘college and career ready’.
But what does that even mean?
What does it mean to be prepared?

As we watch college students now requiring safe spaces and therapy due to partiers wearing sombreros or a “Trump 2016” chalked on a sidewalk, as we watch the SAT standards lowered with shocking frequency, as we learn that many college graduates know little about the Constitution and our own system of law and justice, we should seriously question whether parents and the public education system are actually preparing students for college.
As we watch one political or business leader after another felled due to corruption and greed, as we watch the out-of-wedlock birthrate continue to rise, as we watch a blood bath unfold in Chicago, we should seriously question whether parents and the public education system are actually preparing students for life.
In The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis warned about such possibilities when those in charge of educating no longer see value in true character education, in aiding students in the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty.
We want these things, but we fail to teach children how to actually govern themselves:
In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. 
We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. 
We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
That was actually the conclusion of his point. 

The build up to it, is worth considering as well:… The operation of [much modern education and curricula] is to produce what may be called Men without Chests. 
It is an outrage that they should be commonly spoken of as Intellectuals. 
This gives them the chance to say that he who attacks them attacks Intelligence. 
It is not so. 
They are not distinguished from other men by any unusual skill in finding truth nor any virginal ardor to pursue her. 
Indeed it would be strange if they were: a persevering devotion to truth, a nice sense of intellectual honor, cannot be long maintained without the aid of a sentiment which [many modern students] could debunk as easily as any other. 
It is not excess of thought but defect of fertile and generous emotion that marks them out. 
Their heads are no bigger than the ordinary: it is the atrophy of the chest beneath that makes them seem so.
And all the time – such is the tragi-comedy of our situation – we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. 
You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more ‘drive’, or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or ‘creativity’. 
In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. 
We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. 
We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. 
We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."
Truly, if you want men of virtue, you must teach virtue. 
But to do so, you must also believe that there is such a thing as virtue."
