Government Education


Bertrand Russell

“The Impact of Science on Society”

From “Beware Sensitivity Training”

“I think the subject which will be of most importance politically is mass psychology….

It may be hoped that in time anybody will be able to persuade anybody of anything, if he can catch the patient young and is provided by the state with money and equipment.  This subject will make great strides when it is taken up by scientists under a scientific dictatorship…

Various results will soon be arrived at.  First, that the influence of home is obstructive.  Second that not much can be done unless indoctrination begins before the age of ten.”

 (LDL  Sounds like "Head Start."

“When the technique has been perfected, every government that has been in charge of education for a generation will be able to control its subjects securely without the need of armies or policemen.”””

“It is the way of all governments, when they tend toward Socialism, to take charge of a nation’s youth.  The reason is twofold:  The government first wants a complacent younger generation imbued with its ideas so that the system will be made permanent.  The second reason is that no socialistic government seems to think that parents are capable of caring for their young, especially in the educational field.”


(In speaking with my friend Charlie Smith today he told me that the way to fix the educational system would be to get rid of the Truancy Laws.  This would give the parents the choice where they can educate their children.)
