I love Libertarians. Shit just “pops up” in your world. Libertarianism is a shortcut to thinking for brats who have John Galt complexes, people who can’t understand how much our civil society has done for them.
What really baffles me is your understanding of the past. We developed public education because schools didn’t just pop up for the poor. You know what did pop up for them? Sweatshops. Wage slavery. Child labor. That’s the world you are trying to return to.

You just used the word tooken. If you determine what your kids learn, they’re fucked.

Total bullshit. Look at the best education systems in the world and you will find strong public education systems. The only countries in the world that have exclusively private education are third world countries with high levels of inequality and little to no social mobility. The sky is falling rhetoric over public education in the US never ceases to amaze me. Getting rid of public education is a step back, a devolution of our democratic society and a betrayal of our ideals.

Dude, you really need to remix the sound on this. I can barely hear your narrative.

Great video. Thanks! I always wonder why are schools so expensive, and why people who went to public schools are weaker than those who went to private in their education. That explains it.

yes by sending our children to strictly ‘one type of school’ – we are again deliberately designing our child to exist purely as a belief system. This is why the world relies on our children becoming systems – because we exists for money and survival based on fears. So specific belief structured schooling – is again suppoirting the parents in their beliefs (which is based on fear) of the world and of themselves and does not support practical common sense living

MrDarwinist83, “Market mechanism” might not make every sector of human life better, but it sure would make education better. Look at what our teachers’ unions have done: They demand more pay for less work, more job security for less competence, equal pay regardless of teaching ability or whether anyone learns. What a scam!

Market forces, like choice and profit (which also includes loss), would eliminate the institutionalized mediocrity that our teachers’ unions fight so hard to maintain.
