“Restoring prayer ... will scarcely at this date solve the grievous public school problem. Public schools are expensive and massive centers for cultural and ideological brainwashing, at which they are unfortunately far more effective than in teaching the 3 R's or in keeping simple order within the schools. Any plan to begin dismantling the public school monstrosity is met with effective opposition by the teachers' and educators' unions. Truly radical change is needed to shift education from public to unregulated private schooling, religious and secular, as well as home schooling by parents.” WellsProblemHomeSchoolOrderParentReligiousPrayerSimpleEducationTeacherPlansTeachingNeededMetsUnionsSolveRadicalExpensiveOppositionMassiveSecularPublic SchoolIdeologicalSchoolingEducatorRestoringBrainwashingPrivate SchoolMonstrosityRadical Change Author:Murray Rothbard

“Appreciation is the oil that lubricates life and keeps your wheels turning easily and freely. Without appreciation, your wheels will still spin, but they are apt to become rusted with resentment and exhaustion. Since there is great truth in the well-known statement "We teach people how to treat us," you can start teaching others to shower you with appreciation by showering yourself first.” PeopleFirstsWellsStillsKnownTeachTeachingAwarenessTreatsAppreciationOilStatementsWheelsResentmentShowersWell KnownExhaustionTeaching OthersWheels Turning Author:Sue Thoele
“Our schools offer no conception of the scientific process of discovery. They do not encourage creative thought, in fact, they stifle it through too much rigidity in teaching. If we set out to give as little help as possible to originality in science, we could hardly devise a better plan than our education system. Youngsters ought to be told what is unknown about ourselves and our universe as well as what is known.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesFactsHelpingSchoolUniverseProcessKnownCreativeToo MuchPlansTeachingIgnoranceOughtOffersDiscoveryConceptionOriginalityEducation SystemYoungstersRigidityCreative ThoughtLittle Help Author:William Lipscomb

“But more classrooms and more teachers are not enough. We must seek an educational system which grows in excellence as it grows in size. This means better training for our teachers. It means preparing youth to enjoy their hours of leisure as well as their hours of labor.

“Christianity is most admirably adapted to the training of slaves, to the perpetuation of a slave society; in short, to the very conditions confronting us today. The rulers of the earth have realized long ago what potent poison inheres in the Christian religion. That is the reason they foster it; that is why they leave nothing undone to instill it into the blood of the people. They know only too well that the subtleness of the Christian teachings is a more powerful protection against rebellion and discontent than the club or the gun.” PeopleKnowsWellsLongReasonEarthChristianPowerfulChristianityBloodTeachingConditionsTrainingGunSlaveClubsProtectionPoisonRebellionRulersLong AgoDiscontentUndoneAdaptedConfrontingInstillChristian Teaching Author:Emma Goldman
