Reasons for Kleptocracy's Compulsory Schooling:
The Medium Is the Message
The Medium Is the Message
Marshall McLuhan said it. The public repeated it (without understanding it). Illich analyzed its truth with regard to schools: It doesn't matter what tripe you parrot in school; what matters is that you're there: where you've been told to be: by people (not your parents) who do not have your independence or maturity at heart.
What could be more ironic than a captive audience of young consumers being told by the jailers that they're free, and what they're forced to consume is their free choice in a free market?
I don't challenge father's right to tell his son to get behind the plow or mother's right to tell Sissie to keep her legs crossed; I do challenge the state's right to tell our children anything: let alone where they have to be when told (or how much the force-feeders should be paid) (from public funds!)
