re: #145 LudwigVanQuixote

Both the GOP and the Dems have long promoted means of education that will provide them with an ignorant and malleable population. The GOP does it by pushing for such stupidity as teaching creationism as science, while the Dems seek to do it by replacing the fundamentals of Western thought and values (by which I mean freedom, individual liberty and rational thought, not the euphemistic Judeo-Christian values) with moral and cultural relativism. The goal in either case is to mis-educate (if that is a word) the young and raise generations of uninformed and malleable voting blocs in order to achieve and maintain power, the people be damned.
