T...It was, in origin, both military and industrial. The current american school system is based upon innovations introduced by the Prussian Government in the 1840s. It was explicitly military and industrial in focus. Horace Mann and other American educators took an interest in the Prussian system and adapted it to the US. <br /><br />Education still serves the state in a similar fashion but soldiers and industrial workers are not the focus of it attention.Campionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757223364162431711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29763791.post-90997802492069320332012-06-28T09:39:00.995-04:002012-06-28T09:39:00.995-04:00Given that the system was initially put into place...Given that the system was initially put into place so that men could read the Bible, I'm not sure that we can make this kind of leap.<br /><br />While I don't doubt that the schools are in place for some kind of societal control of the population, I believe that it's more related to industrialization, rather than militarization.<br /><br />Point being; do you really expect the leftist teacher unions to be that supporting of a military industrial complex?
