- John Taylor Gatto

Homeschooling in Action

The crazy combative patriotism that plainly threatens to destroy civilization is very largely begotten by the schoolmaster and the schoolmistress in their history lessons. They take the growing mind at a naturally barbaric phase and inflame it and fix its barbarism.
-George Herbert Wells, in "The Informative Content of Education"
