“The most erroneous assumption is to the effect that the aim of public education is to fill the young of the species with knowledge and awaken their intelligence, and so make them fit to discharge the duties of citizenship in an enlightened and independent manner. Nothing could be further from the truth. The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever the pretensions of politicians, pedagogues and other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else.”
H.L. Mencken
Common Crap, er, Core
Public education another scam created by Big Gubbermint that the masses have bought into hook, line and sinker. It was NEVER about education, but about creating worker bee drones. If there is any “public” education it should be 100% at the local level.
If you have school age children get them out of the public schools. They are a dangerous place to freedom of thought and very dangerous to young boys. Teach them at home or at least put them in a good private school.
