Nursed in Tyranny

A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state. – Isabel Paterson

Whenever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to ensure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery. – Benjamin Disraeli

The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all, it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. – H L. Mencken

To entrust the government with the power of determining the education which our children receive is entrusting our servant with the power to be our master. – David Nasaw

The price of a "free" public education is freedom. – Capitalism.org
