Part of the plan, since John Dewey and the Progressives to destroy and corrupt the minds of healthy kids:

Scientific societies are as yet in their infancy. . . . It is to be expected that advances in physiology and psychology will give governments much more control over individual mentality than they now have even in totalitarian countries. Fitche laid it down that education should aim at destroying free will, so that, after pupils have left school, they shall be incapable, throughout the rest of their lives, of thinking or acting otherwise than as their schoolmasters would have wished. . . . Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. . . .”——Bertrand Russell,1953

You gave a date, do you have a citation? I’m interested.

I don’t even know what is going on here, but I find an overlapping quote, if you will, from BR’s SCIENCE AND SOCIETY:

“Diet, injections, and injunctions will combine, from a very early age, to produce the sort of character and the sort of beliefs that the authorities consider desirable, and any serious criticism of the powers that be will become psychologically impossible. Even if all are miserable, all will believe themselves happy, because the government will tell them that they are so.” – p62

... so where would you suppose the sentiments of BR himself lie on this issue?
