The purpose of education - think for yourself!

"The supreme lesson of education is to think for yourself; absent this attainment, education creates dangerous, stupefying conformity."
~Bryant McGill, thought leader, international bestseller, activist

The majority of schools throughout the United States currently teach you what to think. But as the years have passed from the early 1800s to the present time, there has been a decline in the type of people in society. And one of the causes of that is what is being taught as curriculum.

Prior to the 1960s, curriculum in the schools consisted of studying from the classics such as Shakespeare, original writings from philosophers, scientists, the great thinkers of the Western world, and our Founding Fathers. And these writings were discussed. Observations and opinions from readings were shared. And great thinking took place. I like that. And I believe this gives a greater insight into human nature and promotes the ability for each individual to think for themselves instead of being sheep blindly led to a black abyss of conformity and feelings of entitlement.
