    You mean like it used to be before workers put up a fight for each and every right you have today, which corporations (and their governments) actively fight against to this day?

    Yeah, it’s this meme that’s the propagamda and not the history you were taught that included none of that producing the confidently incorrect and wilfully ignorant kind of thinking you’ve displayed here roday. Sure…

      Schools are part of what those workers fought for and corporations fought against.

      Have corporations worked to poison the curriculum in places? Sure. But to act like schools exists purely to push corporate interests is anti-academic bullshit. There’s incredible value in exposing children to each other and to new ideas. A lot of the states in the US still teach about evolution, slavery, and sex ed: there’s just a handful of y’all’queda states that get headlines for being exceptionally dumb.
