Pre-law programs and Law schools try d**ned hard to poison you with l*ftism. You’re ripe for the picking if you are at all arrogant, presumptuous, or even just a crowd-follower. And having once been recruited, later to renounce that garbage, to straighten up and live a strong life afterwards? A titanic struggle! Think of Whittaker Chambers’ struggle to admit “the Soviet regime is a fascist regime” when so prompted by Walter Krivitsky.There could hardly be anything more difficult than to stand up straight and strike hard at the beast if you had once been a fool for him.
Public schooling needs to end. Better that people stare their ignorance in the face than walk around with their heads full of garbage they believe to be true.

This stuff is the reason we need to be Natural Law theorists instead of legal positivists. The built-in right and wrong of things trumps the abstract postulates of formal law. Scoundrels who have access to the mechanisms of lawmaking are still scoundrels, and we need to look beyond the formal exercise of lawmaking to see what it is supposed to accomplish.
Long before the feel-good 60s you had the creation of public schools to harvest up-and-coming generations for purposes of money and ideology, by men who saw themselves as gods. Meanwhile the rest of society was carefully conditioned to look at this as normal, as "no big deal", as "our shared civic project".
Look at what happened just before the feel-good 60s: the Space Race was on, and the Mighty State was gung-ho instrumentalist about the "crop" that it was "breeding" for engineering and science. But the very practice of institutionalizing and "breeding" kids was de-Americanizing them. The adults were encouraged to cheer this on and many did. Straightforwardly coercive strong-state dynamics all the way.

In a legal-positivist, capital-positivist society that's how it works. Those with the money write the laws and the policies and that's it, period, forever.
The key is to know that this phenomenon has a name (two names, shown in blue). It's not co-extensive with the known universe. The antidote is the Natural Law of the medievals, rooted in the built-in order of things, which stands athwart the unchained will of man.
