Sometimes it is a minor differnece and we miss it. Before the education was hijacked by morons, it the educational system that was hijacked by a more intelligent breed. These were people who put the morons in strategic places to make sure that it goes down hill.
The history is full of proof of the fact that it is the young mind that is the fertile ground that is most effected by propaganda.
I remember this father arguing with a teacher. The teacher was insisting he be there for a nonsensical event where his child was not even participating. The teacher went on to accuse the parents of not taking part in the children's education. To this the man replied simply .......
'Honey you do your job and teach him the ABCD. I don't expect much from this system. You just give him the words and don't worry I would be the one to teach my child how to use them'
