"Thought is becoming shallow, uniform, derivative, herdlike, and tritely mediocre."
The destruction of the necessary intellectual hierarchy of achievement and function is cheered on by the educrats like Twilight Super. It appears that Twilight Super is only semi-educated and is part of the problem and has no way to offer a solution. Twilight Super would be considered a 'working stiff' which is someone who just fills a spot on a payroll until it is time to retire. Least we forget Twilight Super has already retired once.
Educrats help with the "crumbling away of the edifice of civilization, and the presumption with which this homo insipiens gregarius sets themselves up as the norm and chokes everything that is finer or deeper." It is noted that classical education seems to be doomed in our mass society.
Why is classical education doomed? Educrats "persecute it with genuine hatred, the hatred of one whose lack of mental discipline bars them from access to this education - not to mention the influence of our era's rampant materialism." Herdlike describes the education system of today. What is good for one is good for all, and all need to be measured in a standardized way. Why do the educrats not fight such measurements with more zeal? The mediocre would have to return to the real job of an educator - teaching! No more canned already prepared study and learning programs to ease the work burden. True educrates would lose materialism time. TRUE EDUCATORS would have no problem with the adjustment.
"Today communities are broken up in favor of more universal but impersonal collectivities in which the individual is no longer a person in his/her own right." This leads to a system called socialization. Socialization lacks individual action, decision, and responsibility shrinks in favor of collective planning and decision. Life becomes uniform and standard herdlike life, ever more subject to party politics, nationalization, and socialization. Individuals within the herd lack the leisure and composure to think for themselves.
What have we been hearing lately - "health care for all", "we need to evenly distribute our earnings", "some in our society have too much", "we need to take care of all Americans", "nationalize Freddie and Fannie to protect" etc. Could the educrats be the reason for our herdlike society? Twilight Super might just be one of many contributing toward our MASS SOCIETY problem created by a dysfunctional public education system.

This goes to even higher levels than just the public school educrats. Our political and military leaders assure us that they know much more about domestic and foreign policy than we ever could. Witness the emphasis they place on "experience" in the political field for anyone who is a candidate for national office. They are the intellectual elite. They will do all the necessary thinking for us, don't worry.
How do they maintain their power and control over the masses? By controlling how the masses are educated. Our family prefers the term "government schools" over "public schools." And so you have stumbled upon the true purpose of the system--not to educate, but to control.
My children will never cross the threshold of a government school as long as I'm alive. My children will be able to recongnize fallacies, illogical arguments, and propaganda coming at them from a mile away. My children already teach themselves; all I do is guide their studies. Do you think my kids will fit into their collectivist system?
Yeah, I doubt it too.
All right. Now there is a comment. You gotta love a woman like that. there is hope. i am pretty sure she spelled all the words right.
