Public schools are like Communist re-education camps designed to destroy boys.

So very true — in addition to the devaluation of male-traits, they also push what I call the appeal to self-authority which is essentially the following:

  1. People in authority would not be there if they were not good.
  2. Therefore, their position of authority is proof of their goodness.
  3. Because of this goodness, the power an authority uses is good.
  4. Therefore, to disagree with [or disobey] an authority is proof of your evilness.
  5. Implicit: I am an authority; to contradict me is evil, no matter the situation.
This essentially elevates the color of authority with authority itself. So Mr. Government-Agent, by his virtue as government-agent, obviously has whatever authority he claims: like an ATF agent controlling firearms despite the constraints of the second amendment. — and the internalizing of this system essentially co-opts the general population into policing their fellow man.

So ironic too since the “Authority” in government schools today were the ‘60’s radicals who detested any authority whatsoever in their day, including parents. Basterds.
