[MD] Value and the Individual

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
I sent my children to private schools where they leaned reading, 
writing and arithmetic.

[Arlo]
How many children from poor families were in your children's classes? 
If someone can't afford that school, do we send them to work in the 
factories instead? Or what?

[Platt]
The also learned self-discipline, self-responsibility and the value 
of individual liberty. In other words, they learned what today's 
government schools fail to teach.

[Arlo]
In other words they were brainwashed to be right-wing ideologues. 
Great. Thankfully, my daughter has escaped this neocon brainwashing 
by going to a public school where she learned the value of community, 
of collaborative achievement and social participation.
