Not if government schools taught to the NRA standards as a matter of course. Liberalism is a menace to children.
Government schools also don’t teach drown proofing, anti-abduction techniques, or self-defense.
The goal of government schooling isn’t a prepared, confident citizen, but a docile, manipulatable serf.
“The goal of government schooling isn’t a prepared, confident citizen, but a docile, manipulatable serf.”
I agree...BUT- the ‘serf’ is not what they want to create or rule... What the government REALLY wants to cultivate is an entire class of ‘serfs’ who are indistinguishable one from another.
Everyone is to be a minute part of the entire mass of undifferentiated being... There will be no INDIVIDUALS and NO INDIVIDUALITY, for sure!!
These drones of course will be kept in a state of dull-witted malleability.
The government can do this through a system of public ‘education’ which is practically worthless and deliberately sub-standard AND with a perpetual torrent of free or cheap and near-worthless ‘luxuries’.
Of course the government will also provide an uninterrupted stream of sensory diversion of the crudest kind, appealing ONLY to the minds and wants of children, who by now are positively indolent and perennially immature!
Now THAT is a malleable and docile population-and a tyrant’s DREAM!!
