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."
