Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The education business is a little murky because by 1900, it has been pretty well decided that a certain amount of education was required to make the system of repression work. You had to have people who showed up punctually. You had to have people who took their orders obediently and understand them fully.
No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
If you look at the 9/11 highjackers, certainly they were educated, some even had university degrees, but nobody really checked their mothers, who were nearly all illiterate.
Powerful people cannot afford to educate the people that they oppress, because once you are truly educated, you will not ask for power. You will take it.
It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it, but that's not the world we live in.
A well-educated populace is the backbone of our middle-class.
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
People have to take control of their own lives. Education is key because it also raises other social indicators like healthcare.
An educated people can be easily governed.
