We don't need no Education from Old Etonians

I glanced at two stories in the Sunday Independent this weekend. On one page there was a stark warning from Nicky Morgan the Education Secretary warning about the dangers of home education . Nicky was afraid that this could lead to radicalisation by Islamic Extremists. On another page a distinguished historian warned that our state education system was obsessed by exams, league tables and performance comparisons.

I am rather more worried about a group of radical extremists called the Old Estonian. They have seized power, forced us to fight foreign wars, seek to create an education system that teaches us to obey, their philosophy argues that education is about creating a workforce that is fit for low paid meaningless jobs. Somehow they believe that teaching people to think critically does somehow nut cause them to be creative,entrepreneurial and innovative. This evil crew of fundamentalists pours out its propaganda through propaganda sheets like the daily mail and the daily Express. Strangely this group argues that the family is central to everything, that parents are responsible for everything that if they defend the family all will be well. Yet they fear the family if it seeks to self educate.

Instead of creating an education system that is flexible and involves home educators, part time educators and schools they create an education system that stresses that all that matters is money, jobs and conformity. It is indeed strange that three of the children who recently went to Syria to join Islamic state were from the old Eatonians favoured school the academy. Its OK for this fundamentalist group that rules our country not to teach about the real nature of the arms trade, the globalist economy, the fact that 1% control the 99%. They dont want us to learn about joined up thinking, they dont want us to challenge their rule. Its simpler to control us by making us blame the immigrant, the unemployed the single mother. Its not the home educators who are the problem, its the society, its the myths we are fed, its the controls we manipulated by. Through out history there have always been radicals who have challenged authority, some like myself have spent years battling free of the controls, some do it by human education, some by political activity, some just wake up one day and rebel. The issue is that a whole society is a rebellious society, not a conforming, controlled , well behaved society. The problem is not Home Education its the power structure of society and how the rulers aim to remain the rulers..its that simple.........
