There’s a principle that says don’t attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
So, stupidity it is.

In this case, I’ll like the publik skoolz accomplishing exactly what the socialist Horace Mann wanted — cannon fodder factory workers that could be led by the elite. Bingo, that’s what we’ve got.

1. End the dole; 2. Dismiss gooferment public education; 3. Stop the various wars — foreign and domestic; 4. Repatriate the troops home; 5. Downsize ALL gooferments.
