The Case Against Public Education ( Abolish it!)

The article is by some nutty author at American Thinker, you can find it if you really care.

Please substitute the words "slave" and "slavery" for the words , "student" , "child", and "school" in the posts defending government compulsory indoctrination. You will soon see that the exact same arguments used to defend slavery are the **same** arguments used to defend compulsory government indoctrination centers ( misnamed "schools').

Fundamentally, there are institutions so evil that they must be abolished even if those oppressed are materially worse off than before. Government K-12 schooling is one of those institutions.

By the way,.....In one very tiny way, slavery was not as evil as government schooling. At least the government did not force citizens to pay taxes to uphold and support slavery institutions, and no one was forced by the government to buy or use the services of a slave.

you need an educated populace to maintain a republic, that is the why of public ed. However, the commies infiltrated and now it is re-education.

“What’s your plan and how are you going to go about it?!”

Simply take the federal and state governments out of it. Let the local districts have total control. The alternative is is the end of th U.S.

This abomination of government schooling was from the beginning ( mid1800s) a socialist-funded, single-payer, compulsory-use entitlement.

Nothing good can come from socialist, single-payer, and compulsory programs. In fact, it was my great-grandparents , my grandparents and my father's generations that made Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt possible. They were born in the 1860s, 1890s, and 1910s.

In just three generations of socialist schooling the direction of our nation was entirely changed for the socialist worst. And....We are heading rapidly toward tyranny.

"What’s your plan and how are you going to go about it?!"

This is the same argument defenders of slavery used!

“What’s your plan to end slavery? How are you going to go about ending slavery”?

Answer: We do it because it is the right thing to do even if those who are freed from the government compulsion are worse off materially than before.

Yep! Even if children are WORSE off without compulsory, socialist, single-payer, and GODLESS indoctrination, we do it anyway because the human spirit cries out for freedom.

The irony is that one-room school houses in the 19th century, haphazardly financed and staffed, produced grammar school graduates—sometimes—with more learning than our high school graduates in general. Think of Matty in “True Grit.”

I totally agree with you based on one sentence in Marx’s Communist Manifesto:”Free education for all children in public schools” Plank #10

*

Public education is government controlled means of production, the very definition of socialism.

Socialism can not be reformed, it can only be replaced by freedom.

That's all you need to know about government schools.

History is replete with self-taught geniuses, with no more elaborate instruction than God’s own creation to inspire their beautiful minds.

Socialism is slavery with soft handcuffs.

Government schools are the very definition of a single-payer, godless, compulsory-use, compulsory-funded, SOCIALIST ENTITLEMENT!

And...It is amazing that when the words “slave” and “slavery” are substituted for “school” , “child”, and “student”, the defense of government schooling immediately becomes the defense used for SLAVERY in the 19th century!

The public schools are a great success at achieving their revolutionary function - to create a new People, unsullied by knowledge of history.
Clay for the State potters.

Personally, I consider government schooling to be so evil, so harmful to children, and such a threat to our nation that I will not have a government teacher or government school worker for a friend. They are too evil, too stupid, or too much of a Useful Idiot to be a friend.

Some of my teen-age neighbors in Tennessee used to refer to schools as ‘concentration camps’...

It is evil for the state to force godlessness on children and it is evil for the government to force parents to pay for it.

It is evil for government teachers to cooperate with it and implement this godlessness and yet many claim to love children.
