schools are jailkeepers?
What about parents, are they jailkeepers too?
Don't children go to school in this perfect economic/political system you have created for yourself, and only you, because you won't share it with us.mp

To begin with, I deleted that comment. Take a look.Second, I did not claim that Brazil and 1984 illustrate my point in the way you are construing me to have claimed. 'Twas your description of the world presented there that I responded to. > > The gloominess, and prevelent idea that the core of the individual must be destroyed for the benefit of the group < < I see the same thing happening in our post-capitalist society. But you want to see Brazil and 1984 as being about totalitarianism and totalitarianism only. Disregarding that mistake, I'm arguing simply that some of the mind-control techniques shown in those films are present today in America (take corporate implanting on young consumers, for example, like the kind practiced by Mountain Dew and Nike). I'm happy to explain, or at least to TRY to articulate what I see. It's not any easy thing to do, despite the help of some of the authors I mentioned (to which I'd add Noam Chomsky as a good starting point for further reading).
Third, about my teaching credentials: I'm not on this forum to represent myself professionally (obviously!). It's a play-space. Why else would I be talking to a person masquerading as a pig?! If you want a dissertation or a rigidly rhetorical argument, look elsewhere.
to help children. Schools were designed to help societies! That is a plain fact. Referring to that strange link you provided.mp
