Public School Education....LOL.... Here's a quote from the commie "founder" of Public School Education, John Dewey:

"When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children." The words of John Dewey, a founder of America's public education system, also fit nicely into Coulter's state-of-the-classroom address: "You can't make Socialists out of individualists -- children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone is interdependent." Coulter responds, "You also can't make socialists out of people who can read, which is probably why Democrats think the public schools have nearly achieved Aristotelian perfection."

I had heard that this quote was from Albert Shanker, President of the American Federation of Teachers. Although Dewey was the creator of the theory and philosophy of American public education as it is (mis)practiced today, I don't think Dewey had any connection with the "edukashun" unions.

A couple years ago I was looking for a solid source for this quote. Sp. if you or anyone can pin this quote down to a verified source, PLEASE ping me.
