    As to your comment about John Taylor Gatto, he was a New York Educator who among other awards won New York State Teacher of the Year. He wrote several books on the topic of how American schooling is designed to create compliance to authority. Here’s his work titled “Against Schooling” hosted on University of Oregon Library/Faculty Network. He also wrote Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling.

    You can also read about him at Wikipedia. Just because you’ve never heard of him doesn’t mean he’s “Bullshit”

        How is calling other lemmy user, me in this instance, a “coward” meeting the lemmy TOS of not attacking other users and generally being polite? Feel free to explain that and your “bullshit” comment in the context you intended it.

          You are very sensitive on this issue. Is it perhaps because you know I’m at least a little bit right.
