Public Schools Make Children Into Dumb Slaves
http://linkstofreedom.blogspot.com/2006/12/public-schools-make-children-into-dumb.html
Here's an excerpt:
"With the extinction of political history the educational oligarchy has
finally resolved the grand crisis of twentieth-century education: how
to prevent the masses from learning what is fit only for their leaders.
From the new textbooks, the children of the American republic will
never gain knowledge of, or the slightest incentive to participate in,
public affairs. Nor will they ever learn from their sociologized texts
how to detect "ambition under all its shapes." What the new textbooks
teach on every page and with every passive verb is that, for all
practical purposes, there is no such human activity as public affairs
and no such human motive as political ambition. How can there be when
'faceless social forces' make our history and the high and the mighty
appear only as the victims of fate? No reader of these degraded texts
will ever learn from them how to 'judge for themselves what will secure
or endanger their freedom.' The new textbooks have snuffed out the very
idea of human freedom, for that freedom at bottom is precisely the
human capacity for action that political history records and that the
textbooks are at such pains to conceal. In the 'multiracial,
multicultural' America of the textbooks every citizen is a tribesman
and every tribesman the hapless subject of powers and dominions he does
not even know exist. Such is "good citizenship" in the corrupted common
schools of contemporary America."
