In any democratic and intelligent country, public schools are not controlled in any way by politician (the only politician in the circle is the Minister, but the whole system can easely went against him), publics schools are not politicized as they are not supported (financially) by any other institution that the State, which has a duty of fairness, and they are not authoritarian. They teach their students values of their country, democracy, other than capitalism and endless run for profits...

That's why, SDU is voting against.

MessagePublic schools are incredibly controlled by the politicians man

think about who controls the money man.

Bob Dole "voted against funding education in 1996, and it cost him the election man.

plus, the state has no such duty of fairness.

Plus, whether or not you realized it, you just made a strongly political statement.
"They teach their students values of their country, democracy, other than capitalism and endless run for profits..."

If i were in soviet Russia, we would have no option of democratic thinking, and I would be shot for saying "capitalism". Plus, I strongly disagree with your "endless run for profits" remark, seeing as it oversimplifies the capitalist system and portrays it in a negative light. You think capitalism is about rich screwing the poor, I think that capitalism is about maintaining efficiency in all walks of life. Is that not a political argument?

also, The government and political settings strongly factor into what is taught in school. Think about if the Nazi's had won WW2, think about what it would say in the history books.
Schools are Incredibly strongly political institutions, funded by the government, heavily regulated by the government, and very authoritarian in nature.

Where was the last pro Authoritarian/Communist school you ever heard of in the USA?

There never was one, its because the government and political background regulates the American schools of thought.

Just like the DUP's case. His background in the UK (free health care and crappy inefficient mix of public/private schools) means that he knows nothing else than to give free health care to all, and give endless drabble about the problems of a public/ private school system. It isnt his fault, that is just his political background. He knows nothing else.

This is how the "man" turns us all into carbon copy clones of one another, with little/negligible diffrerences between schools of thought.

Look at the differences between the Democrat and Republican parties in america. The only thing they dont agree on is pretty much religion/morality issues, because the government is not allowed to regulate on morality, leading to discrepancies between the parties.

However, neither party is advocating collective farming, nationalization of industry, etc. It is because American society has been gradually brainwashed into thinking that Capitalism is the only way (which it really is) and there is no opposition to it.
This brainwashing though starts in the Schools, with the implied political thoughts inflicted upon children.

Look at Colleges, the reason that college students are more liberal than the population at large is because the college professors are more liberal than the population at large, for varying professional reasons. Mostly because they feel "entitled" to more money from the man, because they are highly educated. The problem is that their skill set is not widely demanded by the economy, so they get none.
Teachers have a big influence on their students, and the "man" has a big influence on the teacher's paychecks.

Regardless, and back to the point, Public schools are exactly what Thomas johnson says they are. government-established, politician- and bureaucrat-controlled, fully politicized, taxpayer-supported, authoritarian socialist institutions.

Thats why education is always on the ballot.

MessageI said "man" like 40 times in that last post. It was probably because I was watching the Big Lebowski, definitely the greatest movie ever.
