right wingers are always whining about socialism (and communism..lol), and associating it with democrats.
of course, we became a socialist country in...1635 with boston's latin public school. lol
An honest look at American “public schooling” reveals that it is indeed the most socialistic institution in our country. Most people are surprised to learn that “free” public schooling is one of the “Ten Planks” (key tenets) of the Communist Manifesto.
Funding for public education is clearly organized around the Marxian principle of “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” as we take wealth from those who have it (in the form of property, income and consumption taxes at the local, state, and federal levels) and we redistribute it to the schools based upon “need” as determined by federal, state, and local officials.
Of course, the “education” of each public school child — from the teacher training to the curriculum to the standards — is also determined and planned by political agents at those various levels of government. It is not the parents or the students who control their education, it is the “state.” Sure, we give lip-service to parents and students as “customers”, but the reality is that they are at the very bottom of the totem pole…if at all.
so all you right wingers who are against socialism are a bit late to the party, and of course should be voting to abolish public schools!
