Why
the United States is Destroying its Education System
Chris
Hedges, Truthdig.com
A nation that destroys its systems of
education, degrades its public information, guts its public libraries and turns
its airwaves into vehicles for cheap, mindless amusement becomes deaf, dumb and
blind. It prizes test scores above critical thinking and literacy. It
celebrates rote vocational training and the singular, amoral skill of making
money. It churns out stunted human products, lacking the capacity and
vocabulary to challenge the assumptions and structures of the corporate state.
It funnels them into a caste system of drones and systems managers. It
transforms a democratic state into a feudal system of corporate masters and
serfs.
