It's not trolling if you actually believe in that crazy assbackwards Glenn Beck bullshit. That's just you being a moron.
Actually, I didn't get any of that from Glenn Beck, and you're still just frothing at the mouth.
It's also not crazy.
"In our dreams…people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple… we will organize children… and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way." - John D. Rockefeller General Educational Board (1906), which designed much of what was to become the norm for Public School in the US.
The other two speak for themselves.
Other great Education quotes -
As we all learned from the sorry experience of state-sanctioned bureaucracies in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, decentralization [in education] is crucial to both freedom and excellence. ~ Jerry Brown
I don't want my children fed or clothed by the state, but if I had to choose, I would prefer that to their being educated by the state. ~ Max Victor Belz
Education should be exercise; it has become massage. ~Martin H. Fischer
The more subsidized it is, the less free it is. What is known as "free education" is the least free of all, for it is a state-owned institution; it is socialized education - just like socialized medicine or the socialized post office - and cannot possibly be separated from political control. ~ Frank Chodorov
I claim for the nation an education that depends only on the State, because children of the State must be raised by members of the State. ~ Louis-René de Caradeuc de La Chalotais
I've come to believe that genius is an exceedingly common human quality, probably natural to most of us... I began to wonder, reluctantly, whether it was possible that being in school itself was what was dumbing them down. Was it possible I had been hired not to enlarge children's power, but to diminish it? That seemed crazy on the face of it, but slowly I began to realize that the bells and the confinement, the crazy sequences, the age-segregation, the lack of privacy, the constant surveillance, and all the rest of national curriculum of schooling were designed exactly as if someone had set out to *prevent* children from learning how to think and act, to coax them into addiction and dependent behavior. – John Taylor Gatto, New York City "Teacher of the Year," 1990
