“For 50+ years the public schools have been little indoctrination centers...”
I recall in the early sixties, If you were caught with a piece of candy, gum, or other treat, the teacher would ask if you brought enough for everyone. When it turned out you hadn’t, you were not allowed to have any, either. Basically, your property was confiscated by the state. It wasn’t one teacher who used this methodology, it was all. It was like this idea was written in stone.
I remember once, in about 1964, one of the kids did bring enough for everyone (1-cent bubble gum). Didn’t help, he went to the principal’s office anyway, probably for showing up the teacher.
