    Unequal Math

    Sent to me by a Dutch friend who while once visiting the US was asked by one of our well educated citizens how long it took them to drive from Europe to the US. Truth is always stranger than fiction.

    The US is a federal republic. The federal government has limited enumerated powers. Defense is listed; education is not.

    The states are responsible for that.

    You can thank the Department of Education (Indoctrination) for that.
    Democrats believe that "politics is war by other means." And they are at war with America, with common sense and even common decency. Those who would mount an effective opposition had better have a high tolerance for slime, slander and abuse.

    The indoctrination you speak of actually began by corporate leaders such as Carnige and Rockefeller cojoined by politicians in the late Victorian Era by implementing the Prussian model of education into this land. The goal was the same as Prussia's and that was to "train" like Pavlov's dogs obedient workers by bells, time frames, meaningless busywork, bureaucracy, long lists of rules much like a prison. Train obedient workers for the industrial era and obedient soldiers for the army. Then the ruling class can manipulate the masses so much easier when they've been brainwashed like functional zombies. Prussia had that all figured out and the barons of industry back then liked what they seen and so did the politicians.

    Ruby, you're rather truthy in your narrative. Carnegie and Rockefeller contributed funding while the NEA pushed public education, and it was Horace Mann in a government position that pushed the Prussian model.

    You're forgiven.

    You realize your claim is nonsense, right?
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.
