“The ultimate aim of the state is to turn every child into a good little citizen of the state. That’s what public schooling is all about. It’s really just army-lite, with its emphasis on inculcating a mindset of deference to authority, obedience to orders, and regimentation. And it’s why public-school classes, just like classes in the military, are so darned boring. Resorting to cell phones to relieve the boredom of public schooling is the most natural thing in the world for a student to do. It’s also a smart thing to do because it keeps students from falling asleep from the boredom they are experiencing. Unfortunately, all too many statists, who themselves are public-school ‘success’ stories, simply cannot see this.” (08/28/24)
