Conservatives Push to Put Chaplains in Public Schools (who needs books, supplies, healthy lunches, or a school nurse?)
"The Liberal does not admit, even to himself, that he is a member of a group; he does not like to be called a Liberal; he does not admit, even to himself, that Liberals run other departments and other universities, that Liberals run the dominant hierarchies of American society; he does not admit that HIS POWER COMES FROM THE FACT THAT OTHER LIBERALS WILL BACK HIM UP.
Unlike the Reactionary, he does not admit that when he fires a radical he expects other Liberals to do the same. The Liberal’s 'liberalism' is an ideology which informs him that he’s an 'individual' who exists in a vacuum, and that his decision does not bind anyone else.
He denies that all Liberals are bound to one Liberal’s decision. He lies to himself: if it ever happened that a group of Liberals rehired the radical and fired the Liberal, the Liberal would shout 'We all agree that...' and 'Our basic principle is...' and 'How can we tolerate such a blatant denial of our most sacred...' — in other words, 'WE’RE ALL PLEDGED TO ACT TOGETHER'; 'WE’RE MEMBERS OF THE SAME GROUP'; 'WE’RE ALL ENGAGED IN THE SAME PROJECT' — and the project is the continued functioning of the corporate-military system."

Because of that last post I responded to, and just the general categories I've seen people fall into in these conversations, I'm curious:
Please reblog for sample size, deeply curious the demographics of this one
I think all educational institutions can be harmful based on what they teach and how they teach, I was bullied by teachers in private education from primary school through to highschool and maybe 1 or 2 teachers in year 11-12 public college. The bullying doesn't end there if you choose university also, even a university preperation course is enough to be seen as a bullying tactic for future educated students to just walk away because its not interesting unless the teacher makes it interesting, but I have encountered some great teachers at university with an open-mind.
You learn in school about how the intelligentsia and elite classes would be harnessed by the likes of Mussolini and Hitler to provide intellectual backing that would sway the masses into blind support. But I won't forget witnessing this phenomenon engulf Ethiopia. It completely shattered everything I believed in.
Religious fathers who normally preach forgiveness calling on the army to "crush" the rebels.
Legal experts lecturing us on how an army massacre was somehow legal.
"Active Clubs recruit at high schools… “When there’s an increase in violence at a high school the recommendation is to show up to provide protection and training for the white male students.”
