The fact that Mao was quoted is not nearly as bad as the fact that they BOTCHED THE QUOTE.
Mao didn’t say that he wanted people to be “satiable in learning”; he said EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE: he wanted people to “insatiable in learning”. (See http://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-2/mswv2_10.htm for evidence of this assertion.) It’s not a bad sentiment, even if it was expressed by Mao.
Not only are the Dept of “Education” folks commie sympathizers, they are also morons.
Ever read the little Red Book? YOU, are a moron, if you quote that cite/site, and agree in any way, shape or form. Idiot.
