Entry: Taking Back Our Children Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/taking_back_our_children#4463 Post contents: <i>Conservatives have a choice, knownothingism or the 21st century.</i> What is this statement based on? And what is the previous contention that the US's university system is the "best in the world" based on? Just prior to World War I, Prussia had achieved 100% literacy. What was it good for, other than to indoctrinate young Prussian men in the glories of dying for the state? What is the point of being 100% literate, or even functionally literate, if you are dead, or soon will be? Do you honestly think these two events are separate? Lovers of liberty do indeed have a choice, whether they call themselves "conservatives" or not. Bigger, more intrusive government, or opting out of the system. And the "best" universities "in the world" are recruiting home-schooled children at a higher rate than public-schooled children. You really, really need to read John Taylor Gatto. Sent at: 2008 09 07
