  1. I had Christopher Hitchens as a college professor and corrected him in class about the civil war and he was cool with it because I citied by source. He wasn’t the least bit embarrassed about being wrong.

  2. Frankenstein is a monster because he let his creation out of the box when doing nothing at all was the virtue. He played god. Don’t play god.

  3. All education is indoctrination; this we must first concede. As well, we should gear students toward successful professions. What else would this indoctrination be used for? To be cynical about the construction of this indoctrination is itself myopic. What else would education do? Your quarrel is with WHAT’s being indoctrinated at the expense of truth, other learning and nefarious motives, as is mine. The desire isn’t to replace the system; it’s to purge it of bad actors.

  4. They’re not idiots; like Orwell said, modern totalitarians know what they’re doing. You’re misattributing incompetence to malice. These people are paid to make kids soft and cohesive, therefore pliable to a power structure in the future.

  6. Counterinfiltration. These were all our institutions once; marxists don’t make anything. I usually like to ask them that flat out; “why don’t marxists ever make anything, only scheme to take what other people made?” When you get down to their greed, at their base, they lose control and it’s really funny.

  7. “Those who can’t do, teach” exists is the “harder” soft sciences, like economics, but it is the rule in liberal arts.

  8.  @Snarflelocker  That’s a lie. No country spends more on education that we do and no one gets less. Most of our problems aren’t with teachers but low-quality students.

  9.  @Snarflelocker  Where do you think the money goes? And there is no ROI for taxpayers to pay you sloppy menaces more.

  10. That way the fools in charge won’t listen? Your generation is voting for that in their government. You’re getting a micro-glimpse at what living under totalitarian rule was like. Hopeless.
