"Those who fear a theocracy should also fear a scientocracy."
How about "jobmarketocracy"? The last 50 years could have been called "electronics age" and the future looks more and more like "biology/biochemistry age". The technology race does not have silver medals - the winner takes all, and one could argue that preserving and augmenting US technological and scientific leads and the knowledge [secular knowledge!] workforce necessary for maintaining and expanding them is a matter of the highest national interest - not even of national security, but of sheer survival. The necessary corollary is that contemporary dumbing-down PC educrats and their organizations are guilty of high treason.

High treason!!! A nation that competes within itself first is stronger and more capable of competing with other nations. Monopolies, in all contexts, are a source of weakness - hence anti-trust legislation in our nation with respect to business. If you want to win the gold medal explore all training methods.

The question is, do parents ceed power over their children to the state when they put them into the public school system?
