The Underground History of American Education

If you can get your hands on this book please read it. The Imperial Prussian school system was designed by the German empire to create obedient soldiers and industrial workers. When the Mellons and the Carnegies saw the of success German industry they banded together with the Rockefellers and other magnates who needed a properly indoctrinated workforce and a docile population and imported the system lock stock and barrel into the U.S.

Pavlovian conditioning was a principle foundation of the Prussian system. When a bell rings one is allowed to stand and move to the next class. The short class periods and over specialization of subject matter differs greatly from classical Greek education where a book, piece of music or poetry or even an idea could be discussed for hours on end.

You were not educated, you were trained as a dog is trained to give certain responses when prompted with certain stimuli. A command issued by one in authority is obeyed. This is the primary lesson you were taught in various guises over a 20 plus year period and unlearning that lesson takes a great deal of effort and courage.

Do it. (and feel free to use the ammunition of the enemy)
