About This Quote
A tax-supported, compulsory educational system is the complete model of the totalitarian state. The idea that the government should be in charge of education is just as absurd today as it was in Plato’s ideal republic. Modern education is ineffective and wasteful. Governments are able to dictate what children learn, rather than allowing students to choose what they want to learn.
