That's horrifying.

These fucking right wing nut jobs are getting too smart. They've learned how to control the media, and now they're moving on to education. They've realized how important it is to control all the pathways of information.

I can only assume the internet will be next.

education isn't a new area of gov't control. if i had a book w/me i'd put the quotes up here, but i lent it to my friend who was a teacher and who is writing a book about teaching. anyway there are some quotes from the first proprieters of formalized education in this country, and they are HORRIFYING! these guys made no bones about the fact that the purpose of public schooling was not about education, but to make children fit into societal molds the way their parents never could. there was a concerted effort to break up the more communal/tribal/local forms of education. there is also a quote how the point isn't to produce people (it probably says men, lol) of learning, of letters, artists, poets or great thinkers, but to produce workers. it sounded like cogs in a machine!

anyway this story is awful. especially b/c that teacher is soo right on, especially in encouraging the students to challenge him and find their own answers.

tg's thing sorta reminded me of this live tool thing where maynard's doing the whole "think for yourself, question authority" thing, and the audience is repeating it back, and then he says, "and don't blindly repeat what people say," lol, or something like that. thinking for oneself is really the point.
