"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed and train a standardized citizenry, to down dissent and originality. That is its aim in the United States, whatever pretensions of politicians, pedagogues other such mountebanks, and that is its aim everywhere else."

I once expressed an opinion on an article by Bertrand Russel that we were required to read for class. The teacher said that it was the exact opposite of what he was saying. No discussion, no debate! I was stunned because I believed my view was valid, but I had to accept her authority. I tuned out for the rest of the class.

Now that was education!
