The real purpose of schooling. (John Taylor Gatto)

They've forced parents to WANT to send kids back to this shit?

Some high level -- low level -- Parenting going on.

Thanks for posting!

With what book should I start?

Weapons of Mass Instruction is very interesting explaining the beginnings of compulsory education in the US.

The Underground History of American Education was his magnum opus and details the Rockefeller takeover of American education, the results of which are very obvious today.

Yep. Great book. Also "Dumbing us down: The hidden curriculum of compulsory schooling" Is a great one.

^Ok. So I know this is a 5 hour interview but hear me out. This interview is unbelievable. It goes into some very shocking information about the formation of schooling.

I will admit they go down some real intellectual pathways but give it a chance. He tells about the REAL history of the USA.

This was at a time when Mr. Gatto was somewhat unhealthy so he speaks rather slowly.

I speed up the youtube video a bit to be able to get through it quicker.

Take time over the next several days to nickel and dime the whole interview. You wont regret it.

For all his exposing of the education debacle, Gatto was, I believe, one of “them”.

“They” have to tell you what they plan on doing to you, and “they” more often than not use one of their own to do so.

The tell here is his undisguised jollity while describing how thousands would lose their jobs, but that they were of no consequence. Look at him. Watch the clip several times, if need be.

He’s not laughing with us, he’s laughing at us.

I don't agree with saying it was libertarian.

Otherwise great piece.

That was amazing,i passed it on.

OP,one heck of a good thread!!

Thank you!! Seriously. Glad you got it!

Bump for this great teacher.

day care system and mind control, like commercials.
