What is known as "freeeducation" is the least free of all, for it is a state-owned institution; it is socialized education - just like socialized medicine or the socialized post office - and cannot possibly be separated from political control." -- Frank Chodorov (1887-1966) American author, publisher 1948 Source: "Why Free Schools Are Not Free," Fugitive Essays: Selected Writings of Frank Chodorov http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/F...orov.Quote.57BD "As we all learned from the sorry experience of state-sanctioned bureaucracies in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, decentralization [in education] is crucial to both freedom and excellence." -- Jerry Brown [Edmund Gerald Brown, Jr.] (1938- ) US politician, Attorney General and former governor of California, former Mayor of Oakland, CA, former chair of the California Democratic Party http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/J...rown.Quote.57DC "The first goal and primary function of the U.S. public school is not to educate good people, but good citizens.
