This report (by Bourgeoisie press btw so take that into consideration) shows how "stupid" kids in the U.S. have become. I should know, I'm the only one out of everyone I know who has made it to college. My schools were horrible but of course I knew the ROOT cause was capitalism and racism (I'm from the inner city, you know our schools get the worst).

But the alternative the report suggests is sickening. This guy wants to privatize schools arguing that teachers are bad and that competition would force teachers to do better. He is supporting competition for CHILDREN!!??!?!?!?!?!!!!!

For your information, the guy who was doing the report, John Stossel, is one of those Ron Paul supporters, so he's a hardcore cappie.

Moved to Politics

I'm not sure where this belongs, because it's more about a discussion of education than anything else and there isn't really a specific area for that. Feel free to move it again.

Holy hell, Privatization of schools? and i didn't think it was possible to come up with something that could make our education system worse.

I know. This video shows three things typical of capitalism:

1. The education system is crap and it is only "good" for the bourgeoisie (both petty and regular).

2. The union monopoly. Unions working with capitalism.

3. The only solution that people like and that it "makes sense" to them is to inject MORE capitalism into it (a more orthodox capitalism in this case).
