About This Quote

The idea that education is fundamentally religious means that the founders of the educational system believe that all people are basically good and do not need to be taught how to overcome their own selfishness. The founding of such an educational system does not come from a desire to teach people how to hurt others, but rather how to help each other. The idea that education is fundamentally religious is certainly one way of looking at it.
