The confiscation of private property also happens in private and parochial schools. We are indocrinated early and often to become “sheep of the state”.

Yup. I bought my daughter's school supplies just this morning. The list was: 3 sharpened #2 pencils
1 box 16-count CRAYOLA crayons
1 box 12-count CRAYOLA colored pencils
1 thick Sharpie yellow highlighter
3 boxes KLEENEX brand tissues
1 roll BOUNTY paper towels
1 container of CLOROX clean-up wipes.

There was a note on the bottom of the list, stating only those brand names would be accepted, and that NO ITEMS were to be labeled.
