Do you know the history of the American school system?

The North American education system comes directly from the Prussian system. For the benefit of government, Prussia's compulsory education system aimed to instill in future generations duty, discipline, respect for authority, and the ability to follow orders, based on the perception of children as blank slates.

Johann Gottlieb Fichte, philosopher, 'spiritual father of neo-naziism,' and key influence on the Prussian education system:

"The schools must fashion the person, and fashion him in such a way, that he simply cannot will otherwise than what you wish him to will."

"Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished. . ."
