Entry: Taking Back Our Children Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/taking_back_our_children#4481 Post contents: The respect that was inculcated for the Prussian State was less due to any indoctrination in the school than by the fact that such State was seen to be doing a good job. A State where the grandchildren of those who had gone hungry and were no shoes in thier childhood had achieved middle class status and could hope for better prospects for their children was a State that could claim the allegiance of the governed. It was not so much what was taught in schools as the fct that there were schools for the children of illiterate parents that earned the gratitude of the German people. As for World War I, the British and the Americans have their share of blame for it. As for World War II, it would not have come to pass if they had not insisted in getting rid of the Kaiser and trying the wonderful experiment of liberal democracy. Blame Wilson, not Bismarck for that mess. Sent at: 2008 09 07
