I don’t think the fundamental concept of public education is evil, even if I do think the current iteration of it does contain evil elements, particularly the indoctrination and revisionist history aspects of it.

I think a lot of people get into teaching without understanding fully just what it is today. And after a lot of them get into it, getting out of it after expending time and money to get a degree in it isn’t an easy thing to do.

Teachers and principals run these evil institutions. Without their **willing** and active participation they couldn't exist. No one is holding a gun to their heads.

So?....When has it ever been easy to avoid doing evil, especially when money and nice perks are offered?

The trouble is that education is a cultural endeavor - and you either teach one culture or another. Bible reading and the Lord’s Prayer in school is one culture, not reading the Bible and not praying a Christian prayer is another.

With consequences in either case.
