John Dewey stated in 1899: "Children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming where everyone is interdependent."

The quote came from here, but unknown his source. I stumbled across it preparing a response in a local paper after being flamed by lefties when I dared say our schools are 'dumbed-down socialist indoctrination centers.':
