barriomulas.com - John B. Egger on Education

I recently stated "Schooling is aimed towards discipline, following orders, getting a job and keeping it instead of creating jobs of your own."

John B. Egger in "The Free Market" notes along similar lines:

The whole educational process... seems designed to keep young people from ever learning what freedom is. The student forgets his force-fed semester of Civics but is unceasingly drilled with the benefits of conforming in dress and thought, keeping quiet, standing ins straight lines, submitting wholly to the authority of the faculty and administration... [they] will be trained to tolerate an incredibly stultifying assembly-line or even white-collar job... Professor Kistol points out that education is supposed to make men dissatisfied with menial jobs; he doesn't mention that as practiced in America, it also trains them to accept frustration and repression of self as a way of life.
