Indoctrination Lasts a Lifetime

Sadly, schools tell children what to do and what to think, not how to think for themselves.  Worse yet this carries over to adulthood.

Educational Freedom

"Men had better be without education than be educated by their rulers; for their education is but the mere breaking in of the steer to the yoke; the mere discipline of the hunting dog, which, by dint of severity, is made to forego the strongest impulse of his nature, and instead of devouring his prey, to hasten with it to the feet of his master" -- Thomas Hodgskin

Equality

At the school board meeting the other night I heard a mother use the term equal.   I believe it was we need to make things equal for everyone.    Clearly she does not know the distinction between equal opportunity  and equal outcomes.   Equal and equality  are words that have come to repulse me like green energy,  global warming,  sustainable, etc.  These are words used by progressives to control man.  

Here are a few of my favorite quotes about equality.  



"The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal."  Aristotle 


"No advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no reform or revolution has ever brought human equality a millimeter nearer. "  George Orwell 




"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."  Abraham Lincoln

"The finest opportunity ever given to the world was thrown away because the passion for equality made vain the hope for freedom." Lord Acton

"The society that puts equality before freedom will end up with neither. The society that puts freedom before equality will end up with a great measure of both."- Milton Friedman

Special School Board Meeting

I would like to sum up today's special school board meeting,  the Oligarchy known as SAU 43 and my feeling for the school district in general.

We need two new school board members with a backbone, who represent the interests of the taxpayers and who are fiscally responsible.   Schools have become some sort of entitlement program for the school employees who have little regard for the people who foot the bill.   For far too many years school boards in Croydon have given Newport and the school district employees free reign and with poor educational results to boot.    School board members need to remember every time they appropriate taxpayer money that is money that is not going to taxpayer's retirement account, college saving's account or food for the taxpayer's table.   School board members everywhere should be thinking with their brain and not falling for the baloney line it's for the kids.   If it was truly for the kids there would be school choice and school employees would not fight school choice to protect their little entitlement program they claimed as their own.  


Public Schools = Government Schools = Socialized Education  They exist to serve the employees and the State not the students.  Public schools would not exist if they were meant to serve the student.  

"The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office.Their principal device to that end is to search out groups who pant and pine for something they can't get and to promise to give it to them. Nine times out of ten that promise is worth nothing.The tenth time is made good by looting A to satisfy B. In other words, government is a broker in pillage, andevery election is sort of an advance auction sale of stolen goods."-- H. L. Mencken(1880-1956) American Journalist,
