It’s called “compulsory state schooling”, not education.
There was an old teacher named John Taylor Gatto. Dead now and was certainly not J-pilled but wrote a couple good books on the history of “education”. He had a couple pretty good quotes made by the Rockafellars about why they were creating public schools. In their own words when asked “what’s its main purpose?”, he said “the most important outcome is to produce uniform responses to authority”.

Ya obviously the main goal was a success many decades ago, and they’ve continued advancing ever since. They’re currently on to “everyone should cut their dick off”.
When I went to school, we had electives we could choose. Starting at thirteen. I took shop class and learned how to work with wood. I selected a drafting class. Our final exam was to watch the movie Battleground. Awesome movie. I even took a cooking class. My favorite was auto maintenance. No fingers were lost.
That they don't push this for students who are "not college bound" is the real tell that they have no desire to make an educated or healthy society.
You can teach apprentice level trades to anyone so that when they get out they can tell the difference between 10-2 and 14-3 wire (or whatever) and help society function after school. Instead they say "oh, you failed remedial math 1, maybe you will do better in remedial math 2", and everyone loses.
The little boy went first day of school He got some crayons and started to draw He put colors all over the paper For colors was what he saw And the teacher said. What you doin' young man I'm paintin' flowers he said She said... It's not the time for art young man And anyway flowers are green and red There's a time for everything young man And a way it should be done You've got to show concern for everyone else For you're not the only one And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and i see every one Well the teacher said. You're sassy There's ways that things should be And you'll paint flowers the way they are So repeat after me... And she said... Flowers are red young man Green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen But the little boy said... There are so many colors in the rainbow So many colors in the morning sun So many colors in the flower and i see every one The teacher put him in a corner She said. It's for your own good. And you won't come out 'til you get it right And all responding like you should Well finally he got lonely Frightened thoughts filled his head And he went up to the teacher And this is what he said. And he said Flowers are red, green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen Time went by like it always does And they moved to another town And the little boy went to another school And this is what he found The teacher there was smilin' She said... Painting should be fun And there are so many colors in a flower So let's use every one But that little boy painted flowers In neat rows of green and red And when the teacher asked him why This is what he said. And he said Flowers are red, green leaves are green There's no need to see flowers any other way Than the way they always have been seen
I wanted to drop out of school and start working when I was in the 6th grade because I realized the truth of this picture. I like that one of the two drains in the picture is "creativity", see my username:
to put down dissent and originality
Yep...creativity isn't just about works of art. You can also be creative in your practical daily life, for instance, in how you deal with common problems. Notice how our society is stuck in a rut, unable to actually fix any of our most basic problems? If we can't think creatively in general, we're not going to be able to think outside the bounds of the "solutions" that are provided for us. In America's case, the two standard parties and their typical political solutions.
If you are able to provide an atypical solution to our problems you're seen as an insane person because the average populace has zero ability to think creatively....we literally do kill creativity.
Children are still learning the basic fundamentals. The current system is easy for small interest groups to exploit because of the federalized hieraechy of the administration, I agree, but that means there should be more involvement by everyone at every level. This will only happen if you go out and get involved yourself. Or don't do anything and just keep posting retarded memes on obscure internet forums. That'll make a difference.

We are seeing this for sure in the boomers. It appears that they have moved on from that (they still include it) to more communist crap though.

The little boy went first day of school
He got some crayons and started to draw
He put colors all over the paper
For colors was what he saw
And the teacher said.
What you doin' young man
I'm paintin' flowers he said
She said...
It's not the time for art young man
And anyway flowers are green and red
There's a time for everything young man
And a way it should be done
You've got to show concern for everyone else
For you're not the only one
And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen
But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and i see every one
Well the teacher said.
You're sassy
There's ways that things should be
And you'll paint flowers the way they are
So repeat after me...
And she said...
Flowers are red young man
Green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen
But the little boy said...
There are so many colors in the rainbow
So many colors in the morning sun
So many colors in the flower and i see every one
The teacher put him in a corner
She said.
It's for your own good.
And you won't come out 'til you get it right
And all responding like you should
Well finally he got lonely
Frightened thoughts filled his head
And he went up to the teacher
And this is what he said.
And he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen
Time went by like it always does
And they moved to another town
And the little boy went to another school
And this is what he found
The teacher there was smilin'
She said...
Painting should be fun
And there are so many colors in a flower
So let's use every one
But that little boy painted flowers
In neat rows of green and red
And when the teacher asked him why
This is what he said.
And he said
Flowers are red, green leaves are green
There's no need to see flowers any other way
Than the way they always have been seen
