O.K., what the heck do y'all expect.  I know I've posted these before.  You 
are now getting, in your face, exactly what the "Father of Public Education" 
and others who started this bunk here in the U.S. promised would happen many 
long years ago!

"Let our pupil be taught that he does not belong to himself, but that he is 
public property. Let him be taught to love his family, but let him be taught 
at the same time that he must forsake and even forget them when the welfare 
of his country requires it."
- Benjamin Rush, "Thoughts Upon the Mode of Education Proper in a Republic"

"Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found 
state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit 
obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery."
- Benjamin Disraeli, British Prime Minister (1874)
Our schools have been scientifically designed to prevent over-education from 
happening. The average American [should be] content with their humble role 
in life, because they're not tempted to think about any other role.
- William T. Harris, U.S. Commissioner of Education, 1889

We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look 
upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause.
- Horace Mann, first secretary of education in the Commonwealth of 
Massachusetts

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along 
without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions at state expense.
- Karl Marx, "The Communist Manifesto"

The children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the 
collective society which is coming, where everyone would be interdependent.
- John Dewey, American educator

Only a system of state-controlled schools can be free to teach whatever the 
welfare of the State may demand.
- Ellwood P. Cubberley, Dean of the Stanford University School of Education

All politicians should be limited to two terms:  one in office, one in jail.
