Since "public education" is coercively funded, we can expect the aftermath--such as mass servility and obedient payment of property taxes Jerry Farber's "IF IT WEREN'T COMPULSORY..." http://www.soilandhealth.org/03sov/0303critic/030301studentasnigger.html "It would be well if we stopped lying to ourselves about what compulsory schooling does for our children.

Salting roads for the common good (and corroding vehicles) Private property owners have no interest in benefitting from commerce and trade--not! But what about the roads (and fire and police "services)! Nothing like institutionalized legalized monopolies as the best way to solve problems Bureaucratized utilities once again to the rescue; preservation of the status quo is always best, especially regarding the utility monopolies; thinking outside the statist electricity box; the genius of Nikola Tesla: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_energy_transfer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_tower#Theory_of_wireless_transmission But what about the schools!

West http://www.fee.org/publications/the-freeman/article.asp?aid=3872 Families find themselves "...caught in a choice-restricted monopoly system serving the interests not of the demanders but of the rent-seeking suppliers."--as in all things involved in government, follow the money trail... Coercive education, like coercive government, is predicated on the belief that some people know what's best for all people In order to implement his own form of arbitrary power, Horace Mann and those of his ilk gravitated toward the coercive educational models practiced in foreign countries where the cancer of statism had metastasized (i.e., the most consistent adherents to the principle of statism) The people in today's power-centers of coercive control see themselves as a cut above the rest The essence of being an authoritarian sociopath is choosing to deal with others in a disrespectful fashion, using threats and violence instead of persuasion and reason Hiding in and not taking responsibility for the system of authoritarian sociopathy is of course assuming its traits The theme promoted and modeled in the governmental schools is one of obedience The master/slave relationship is the ultimate example of racism "Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism." http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/racism.html The Student as Nigger by Jerry Farber, 1969 http://ry4an.org/readings/short/student/ Essays and Stories by Jerry Farber http://www.soilandhealth.org/03sov/0303critic/030301studentasnigger.html "Authority addicts" defer self-responsibility to others (the "authorities") A little lesson on Farber's reference to the torturous "Procrustean set-up" of education: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrustes Slavery, like statism, tends to perpetuate itself from the inside Harriet Tubman: "I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves." http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/harriettub388682.html Dealing with the psychological/social resistance to change; being attacked by fellow slaves who accept the constant theft, violence, and lies of government; such attacks reveal that they know the moral nature of the argument and they concede defeat Curiosity requires a level of emotional intelligence (respect for feelings) that most people still need to achieve It's idiotic to believe that authoritarian sociopaths have any regard whatsoever for you as an individual, or for your freedoms Just as farmers benefit from having free range chickens that produce more for them, authoritarian sociopaths benefit from giving their perceived "livestock" the illusion of being free so that they produce more for them; this is the matrix we live in True News 13: Statism is Dead - Part 3 - The Matrix by Stefan Molyneux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P772Eb63qIY Who really are the human farmers, i.e., slave masters? Statist intellectuals who feed off others and thus justify institutionalized coercion (government) The drug war as an example of erroneous thinking about morality and law, in which breaking "the law" is equivalent to being immoral (again, following from the master/slave relationship) "The law" or "State" can never be the victim; individuals are the real victims within such a demented system--and governmental officials are the real criminals The Socialism of Public Schooling by Jacob G. Hornberger http://www.fff.org/comment/com0811c.asp Elegantly exposing the contradiction: "Advocates of government schooling claim that parents are not competent to make educational decisions for their children. That raises an obvious question: Why not? Aren’t most parents products of public schooling? If public schooling has produced a nation of adults who lack the competence to guide their children’s education, why do we want to continue a system that is likely to produce the same result?" The communistic methods of coercive funding and provision of education utilize vouchers as a trojan horse to further control non-governmental education The institution of government is based on the idea that you don't own yourself, that you are a slave to statist "authorities" Thus it's crucial to challenge the pemes (political memes) that are in our heads #TL074: PEME-THEORY - BASIC, INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl074.shtml #TL075: PEMES = POLITICAL MEMES by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/tl/tl075.shtml Project Abolish Stupidity & Increase Intelligence by Frederick Mann http://www.buildfreedom.com/stupidity/abolish_stupidity.html Further historical reading: The Underground History of American Education by John Taylor Gatto http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/chapters/index.htm bumper music "School Sucks" by White Birch Home School Players (starring Robert Ryan Keech) School Sucks - Low Budget Music Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpkrWuXn2RE to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
