We're all Libertarians until we are 5. It takes twelve years of education to beat it out of us. -- J Carlton, Calgary
J Carlton, said very well. 5 stars for accuracy, thumbs down for what's been done in those 4 (12) years -- Mike, Norwalk
Public schooling in this country equals government indoctrination. The kids may not learn anything , but they will be goot little socialists. -- jim k, austin,tx
Lenin was right in observing that children are very imprssionable and thus we should be careful to whom we entrust them. Jesus said "suffer the little children to come unto me". So He is a great start. Beyond that it is generally observed that children need people in their lives beyond Mommy and Daddy. If we keep them real close to ourselves they may never learn anything and rather than have a life of freedom and choices they may grow up to be just like us (God have mercy) and be coal miners, carpenters etcetera when they could have been something else. -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
The Christians have similar sayings. Waffler obviously suffers from acute self-loathing -- "our children may grow up to be just like us (God have mercy)". That explains it all. Boy, did they do a number on him. -- E Archer, NYC
Archer I was thinking of you when I said God have mercy. We have had enough Pol Pots in the world, uneducated anarchists whose jealousy of education causes them to strike out and destroy every thing it has built. -- Waffler, Smith, Arkansas
Its hard, impossible for the Wafflers of the world, to imagine how great, clean, healthy and prosperous this nation would be if the schools taught that each individual was sovereign with inalienable rights as a faculty of birth, government was the servent of the people with no rights - but duties only, that the individual could do anything he/she chose as it did not infringe on anyone elses nose, that compelled compliance (especially initiated by government) was slavery, that victimless crimes were despotic, that larceny with impunity (especially by the government) was a heinous crime, that governmental license was anti-liberty tyranny, that torture for information was an unconscionable horror, that evolution and intelligent design are both only understood by conclusion, faith/belief, and not by fact, that law can not be created by man but rather only discovered, and etc. -- Mike, Norwalk

This indeed another version of a biblical text proverbs 22 :6. This is not lenin's invention. The communists have stolen every idea from the bible for their organisation and governace and then denounce the scripture. Who taught them not to kill or steal.Wwho taught them that the servent should submit to his master and so on.Any seed that sows in the children irrespctive of the subject matter; whether good or bad no one can uproot from them It is neither a communist invention nor a materialist's and not new either..I feel pity for him. -- Dr. Thomas Iype, Dallas
