Do they? They have already paid their taxes, so they have to pay schooling once again if they want to send their kids to a private school. Only the very rich can do this.

Once upon a time most people didnīt have very intellectual jobs. To be able to read and write, do some simple maths, know a bit about the society you lived in and reading the bible was enough. But today the amount of accumulated knowledge is enormous-you have to specialize very early. That's why standards are increasingly bad in compulsory education, you cannot cover the increasingly more vast amounts of knowledge. This leads to that old knowledge is learnt in school. For instance here in Sweden a large amount of the topics taught in school are simply dated.

Yep, that's my entire point, and if we don't do it we're going to have some really bad problems in the 21st century.

You don't think it is logical, that in a cultural climate of accepted oppression a minority with "strange" views will be more oppressed?
