The Gummint Skools by Vin Suprynowicz
"That biological parents are the enemies of their offspring"
A Dec. 31 Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial detailed some of the $7
billion
in spending the members of the 2007 Nevada Legislature have already
proposed - all while earnestly bleating that no tax hikes will be
required.
"Atop the list," we noted, "is a mandatory program to round up all of
Nevada's children and lock them away from the subversive influence of
their
biological parents in day-long, tax-funded baby-sitting centers, not at
the
age of 6 (which is bad enough), but at the age of 5."
A well-intentioned soul objected that the "references to all-day
kindergarten in Sunday's lead editorial are so sarcastic that few readers
will give them credence."
But no sarcasm was intended.
Those interested in the history that backs up that brief reference might
start with "The Tyranny of Compulsory Schooling," a speech by former
multiple-year New York City (and state) PUBLIC SCHOOL Teacher of the Year
John Taylor Gatto.
There you will find:
"Sweden, a rich, healthy, and beautiful country, with a spectacular
reputation for quality in everything, won't allow children to enter school
before they're seven years old. The total length of Swedish schooling is
nine years, not twelve, after which the average Swede runs circles around
the over-schooled American. Why don't you know these things? To whose
advantage is it that you don't? ..."
Then, explaining why our government seeks to get it hands on our kids at a
more formative stage, purposely seeking to divorce children from the
subversive influence of their own biological parents, Mr. Gatto details
the
Prussian connection.
After that German state's "humiliating defeat by Napoleon in 1806, a new
system of schooling was the instrument out of which Prussian vengeance was
shaped, a system that reduced human beings during their malleable years to
reliable machine parts, human machinery dependent upon the state for its
mission and purpose," Mr. Gatto has learned. "When Blucher's Death's Head
Hussars destroyed Napoleon at Waterloo, the value of Prussian schooling
was
confirmed. ...
"By 1905, Prussian trained Americans, or Americans like John Dewey who
apprenticed at Prussian-trained hands, were in command of every one of our
new institutions of scientific teacher training: Columbia Teacher's
College,
the University of Chicago, Johns Hopkins, the University of Wisconsin,
Stanford," Mr. Gatto continues. "The domination of Prussian vision, and
the
general domination of German philosophy and pedagogy, was a fait accompli
among the leader****p of American schooling.
"You should care about this for the compelling reason that German
practices
were used here to justify removal of intellectual material from the
curriculum; it may explain why your own children cannot think. That was
the
Prussian way - to train only a leader****p cadre to think.
"Of all the men whose vision excited the architects of the new
Prussianized
American school machine, the most exciting were a German philosopher named
Hegel and a German doctor named Wilhelm Wundt. ... G. Stanley Hall, one of
Wundt's personal protgs (who as a professor at Johns Hopkins had
inoculated his star pupil, John Dewey, with the German virus) ... shrewdly
sponsored and promoted an American tour for the Austrian doctor Sigmund
Freud so that Freud might popularize his theory that PARENTS AND THE
FAMILY
WERE THE CAUSE OF VIRTUALLY ALL MALADJUSTMENT (emphasis added) - all the
more reason to remove their little machines to the safety of schools. ...
"Teacher training in Prussia was founded on three premises, which the
United
States subsequently borrowed. The first of these is that the state is
sovereign, the only true parent of children. Its corollary is that
BIOLOGICAL PARENTS ARE THE ENEMIES OF THEIR OFFSPRING. When Germany's
Froebel invented Kindergarten, it was not a garden for children he had in
mind but a garden of children, in which state-appointed teachers were the
gardeners of the children. Kindergarten is meant to PROTECT CHILDREN FROM
THEIR OWN MOTHERS. ...
"The best-known device to break the will of the young, practiced for
centuries among English and German upper cl*****, was the separation of
parent and child AT AN EARLY AGE. Here now was an institution backed by
the
police power of the state to guarantee that separation. ..."
The theory is advanced that mandatory government day-care for 5-year-olds
is
necessary to ameliorate the burden of day care expenses on young parents.
(Were you under the impression they were going to teach them to read?
Current pedagogical doctrine is dead-set against that, since the educrats
don't want the kids to actually escape at any earlier age from the other
end
of the indoctrination tunnel, let alone discover that reading real books
is
actually easy and FUN, which might encourage them to run about reading
stuff
other than their tedious, dumbed down, government-assigned pabulum.)
In fact, the real purpose here, in addition to severing at the earliest
possible age the subversive impact of parents teaching kids to question
authority, is to expand the beneficiaries of the teacher full employment
act
by an additional 10 percent - new recruits to join the endless chorus of
whining that our graduates only get dumber every year because these union
members are "underpaid."
Why do young parents need to pay for day care? Because two full-time
salaries are now required to sup****t a family, leaving no parent at home
with the kids during daylight.
This was not true in America until the 1960s. What changed?
The reason one salary will no longer sup****t a family with a car and a
free-standing home is because Americans have been progressively
impoverished
by the purposeful government policies of inflation and higher taxation.
Basically, mom now works to pay the higher taxes on dad's
inflation-devalued
salary.
What do those taxes sup****t? In addition to the expanding Social Security
and Medicare Ponzi schemes - wealth transfers to further fragment the
family
by encouraging grandma and grandpa to live independently near their money
somewhere in the Sun Belt - the main beneficiary of all that extra tax
loot
are the monstrously expanding government monopoly youth propaganda camps,
which teach our kids wacko new environmental and social doctrines, while
substituting sound bites about "dead white slave-owners" and the
(mythical)
wise ecological husbandry of the noble, peaceful Red Man for any detailed
knowledge of our true political, philosophical, and technological history.
In other words, day-long day care for 5-year-olds receives its real
electoral sup****t because parents want some relief from the expense of
child
day care for 5-year-olds, which has been made necessary by the fact that
both mom and dad now have to work outside the home to fund day-long
government day care for 6-to-18-year-olds.
Compare this to the days before 1960, when economic necessity under a far
smaller government required most people to marry before having children
and
moms could generally afford to stay home with their young kids.
What on earth could convince young parents that the current system - which
produces high school graduates increasingly devoid of complex literacy -
is
somehow better? Nothing could possibly achieve this fantastic result
except
the most massive, dedicated, and successful archipelago of government
indoctrination camps ever devised.
"It's very useful for some people that our form of schooling tells
children
what to think about, how to think about it, and when to think about it,"
Mr.
Gatto concludes. "It isn't very healthy for families and neighborhoods,
cultures and religions. But then school was never about those things
any-way: that's why we don't have them around anymore. You can thank
government schooling for that. ...
"I think it would be fair to say that the overwhelming majority of people
who make schools work today are unaware why they fail to give us
successful
human beings, no matter how much money is spent or how much good will is
expended on reform efforts. This explains the inevitable temptation to
find
villains and to cast blame - on bad teaching, bad parents, bad children,
or
penurious taxpayers."
Instead, Gatto urges us to consider the possibility that "School may be a
brilliantly conceived social engine that works exactly as it was designed
to
work and produces exactly the human products it was designed to produce" -
fragmented adults who can't imagine how to survive without the state.
Educrats and their enablers may express outrage at Mr. Gatto's research.
But
significantly, few of them will actually allow themselves to read their
esteemed former colleague at any length (his greatest book, The
Underground
History of American Education, can be downloaded online for free @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
>), let alone look up, read,
and evaluate his references.
For you see, they don't teach them to do that any more, in the schools.

Quote of the Times;
We want the government to guarantee our health, deflect hurricanes,
educate our children and license us to drive; we want to be told
what to eat, what to smoke and whom to marry. We are justly proud of
the fact that no enduring society has ever incarcerated more of its
people. Noting that the policeman has a pistol, a club, a stun gun,
a can of pepper spray and a database that includes us, we feel happy
and secure.
Our submission is absolute: We want to be operated like puppets and
provided for like pets.
The terrorists hate our freedom. But we should be comfortable with
that. We hate our freedom, too.
