In a society filled with the choice of an infinite number of colored, carbonated or uncarbonated sugar water drinks, an uncountable number of automobile models designed to fit every conceivable taste or price range, or even a range of crayon colors or wall covering choices beyond imagination we confront the monolith known as PUBLIC EDUCATION.Here the choice is not “our way or the highway” it is just “our way”!
Period!
Go to any village in almost any section of the United States where two hundred or more people live and you may find as many as three or four churches-one on every corner.These people gather together and collect the necessary means to build a common building for a common need without difficulty or complaint even AFTER the government has ravaged their wallets!
The giant corporations-Walmart, Home Depot, Costco et.al., have never been heard to complain about the flood of new customers who deluge their doorstep; they celebrate and build new facilities to accommodate the tsunami.
Only the Board of Education can think it a wise choice to force the smallest child at the earliest age to rise before dawn and spend hours of their formative years confined to a seat on a noisy smelly contraption known as the SCHOOL BUS in a regimen that would cause Caesar Chavez’s farm workers to rebel and riot.
This is Child Abuse by another name and it stinks as much.
Only the Board of Education can think it a wise choice to pilfer funds from the many to benefit the few-contractors, administrators et.al.,who suck the very life-force from their clients in Institutional Buildings that adopt the language of prisons to describe their daily operations-“lockdown”-“early release” etc.
There may be Education to be found in these foul Institutional cesspools but there is precious little Teaching and an even smaller amount of preparation for the healthy, vibrant, active life necessary for theCitizen of a Representative Republic.
Shut down these Educational Abattoirs of the Soul before they consume all of Society.
Kakistocracy On the March
A curious business this.
