Are You Puppet or Puppet Master?

Today, was the annual Town Hall Meeting.  Husband asked me not to post this as to not to offend people.  I obliged until after the meeting.   During the meeting an audience member said that we should respect our neighbors.  First, respect is earned not commanded.  Second, As Thomas Jefferson said, "To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."  Having to support a system and a tax I think is sinful and tyrannical I will not take lightly, a minor majority is taking money against my will and from my children because they refuse to fund their own children's education.  Third, I do respect my neighbors and the Ten Commandments.   I will never support a tax increase because, "Thou shall not covet" and "Thou shall not steal"  any good Christian would never vote to raise their neighbor's taxes.   In my humble opinion, to do so makes said person a huge hypocrite.   Fourth,  our current public education as it is was designed by progressives to achieve their idea of utopia.  The system as it is now as anyone who knows our Founding History would not be one of which our Founders would approve.   If they had they would have not found the need to leave England. "Never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was legal." Martin Luther King, Jr.  Just because a person supports what is legal does make it moral.   Slavery was legal, too.  Lastly, character matters.

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
