Entry: Taking Back Our Children Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/taking_back_our_children#4454 Post contents: <i>Public schools are the backbone of the American republic that have by and large worked fairly well.</i> Bullshit. Public schools were thrust upon an unwilling public by ruling elite that lied about the true nature of the schools. Ms. Lyman has only scratched the surface. Read what John Taylor Gatto has to say about the true nature of public schooling. It was never designed to help poor kids get ahead in the world. It was designed to subjugate the masses to the ruling elite, to give to the elite their money, their support, and to never question anything beyond what the state has prescribed. It is indeed based on the Prussian model of schooling, and look what that model gave the world: two horrific world wars. If by stating that public schools have "by an large worked fairly well," you mean Columbine, rising illiteracy, the inability to think for oneself, massive amounts of tax money, the preposterous notion that public school teachers are "experts" in their chosen fields, or any other obvious end-results of modern schooling, then I suppose all that walking in Paris hasn't done you an ounce of good.
