It's Time to Walkout of Coerced Schooling

The so-called student walkout to protest guns in America is actually a government sanctioned astroturfing campaign that is using children as pawns to pull at our heartstrings. Students, do you really want to protest against government sponsored tyranny and oppression? Then stage a walkout of schools permanently, and refuse to set foot within your cell block walls of indoctrination ever again. Rather then attending centralized indoctrination centers (schools) that reward you for repeating what you've been told to think in a uniform manner, pursue a true education, which will train your mind how to think freely and independently from authority figures.

“Schools teach exactly what they are intended to teach and they do it well: how to be a good Egyptian and remain in your place in the pyramid.” ~John Taylor Gatto

“I urge you to examine in your own mind the assumptions which must lay behind using the police power to insist that once-sovereign spirits have no choice but to submit to being schooled by strangers.” ~John Taylor Gatto

“Mass schooling damages children. We don’t need any more of it. And under the guise that it is the same thing as education, it has been picking our pockets just as Socrates predicted it would thousands of years ago. One of the surest ways to recognize real education is by the fact that it doesn’t cost very much, doesn’t depend on expensive toys or gadgets. The experiences that produce it and the self-awareness that propels it are nearly free. It is hard to turn a dollar on education. But schooling is a wonderful hustle, getting sharper all the time.” ~John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling
