    But when the state (government) teaches our children, we end up with indoctrination (propaganda, programming).

    But when the state (govenment) abdocates the teaching of our children to religious nuts and unqualified parents, we end up with indoctrination (propaganda, programming).

    The cynical " Dog " Diogenes, Love of virtue and indifference to wealth. A man with a singular purpose in life. Regardless of his feelings for Plato's abstract philosophy. Socrates found Diogenes to be wise. Plato's thoughts were, Diogenes " a Socrates gone mad." Nevertheless a "dogged" stance in defense of simple truth.
    The dog is a shameless creature, who Knows friend from foe. Diogenes the " Dog" would bite his own friend for their own good.
    " Open rebuke is better than secret love. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." Proverbs 27: 5,6 KJB

    NWO figured this out decades ago, now we have multiple generations of brainwashed propagandised Sheeple whose beliefs are anathema to Liberty.

    Democrat party has taught Sheeple that a majority of idiots trumps superior wisdom of law, as well as Founders' design.

    When you think govt is the solution to all problems, it becomes apparent the NWO education program has been wildly successful!

    With this quote in mind, the imposing edifice result, appears to the rational perspective, a world of make believe concerned with the process, much more than any valued information dissemination.

    In addition, the preceding observation refers to the conventional schooling arrangement.

    Maybe this is true when individual states (the US Constitution did not declare education a federal responsibility leaving it to the 10th Amendment) are in charge. Then we have competition, motivation, innovation...however when the State is the federal government, the education becomes a form of indoctrination to be used by the administration in office or whatever power is in charge.

    The "A" from Reston has, in large part, hit on one of the major issues in the destroying of a once free people. Woke theologians, religious greenies, demonic moralists, socialist clergy, etc. have all abdicated knowledge and the basics of teaching in favor of indoctrination, propaganda and otherwise infernal methodologies of destruction.

    The foundation of any State derives from a family unit. The more the family unit (individually and in concert) exudes the laws of nature and of nature's God, the greater the education realized and foundation of the State is strengthened. The greater the family unit deteriorates, the more propaganda and destructive dogma permeates the State / true education is done away with until - the State collapses.
