Education was designed so that the government could interact with each and every child at a young, young age. Why would the government want to do that? Because the government thinks it knows best. Yes, yes, the government is just like that, and they always have been. Sure, the government used to allow slavery, used to limit womens rights, used to allow men to beat their wives and children and sit back with a cup of lemonade while the blacks worked their cottonfields... But yes, yes, the government is ever so sure that it has everything situated right now. The government is perfect now! Flawless! Despite a history of civil war and depression, a past of rape, death and suffering for all but the great white God worshippers, the government has changed now, people, it's all better now...Despite the thousands of forest fires blazing and the tra-fillbickillion litres of gas burnt each day, despite the extinct animals and third world countries that starve to death while we drive massive SUVs with heated seats so our buns don't get cold, deep down inside the government cares about us all, so they offer us the opportunity to have a good education, so that we can all go to work in factories so that the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor.. Or you know...
