The politicization of education


Photo from The History Place

Governments all over the world have no business poking their noses into classrooms. It is a dangerous mix, politics and education, when people in apparent power decide what youths should and should not learn. Disasters are engineered this way. Hitler's youths, Mao's Red Guards, Japanese Revisionist textbooks. I don't need to write anything more to prove the point.

If you're in government and reading this: get your butt out!

Oh, and Happy Teacher's Day.
