Do all the "privatize education" freaks not understand this? Public education is an engine of capitalism that also happens to benefit the people. They really wanna risk it all to squeeze more blood from the stone?

(From Battle Cry of Freedom, James McPherson)
Highlighted text from "Battle Cry of Freedom" by James McPherson "Schools were 'the grand agent for the development or augmentation of national resources,' wrote Horace Mann in 1848, 'more powerful in the production and gainful employment of the total wealth of a country than all the other things mentioned in the books of the political economists."
