About This Quote

The educational system is a powerful tool for the social elites to control the thoughts and actions of the masses. Education gives a false sense of fairness and equality. In fact, it is a very selective process that weeds out those that have been deemed as undesirables by the ruling class. The educational system also helps those that can afford to pay for it to have greater access to knowledge as well as those who have been groomed by the ruling class to take their place as leaders. In my opinion, they are one of the major institutions at work shaping America's future.
