I admire his work but a common myth from him and the left is that schools are totalitarian. As a teacher who knows many teachers around the country, I assure you that quite often there is chaos and a general lack of decent standards. Very disorderly and defiant kids must be included to the detriment of the rest.
Check out the Rape of the Mind by Joost Meerloo. I don't remember who recommended this book, but it's worth reading. It's about 'influencers' and 'thought leasers', but surprisingly it was written in 1956. If you think things have changed since then, they haven't. Meerloo, a psychiatrist, explains why people form beliefs that are provably false.
Another book to look at by David Hughes. for a broader look at what is taking place. This is a transnational omni war he argues and all republics and liberal democracies are the target Involves the weaponization of everything by a transnational elite (some we of the same Wall Street bankers and families who funded the rise of hitler. With the monetary system center failing to hold, and extreme wealth inequality they are pursuing the goal of transitioning to a bio digital totalitarian technocracy. Stable for them, and enormous power while utterly oppressive for the rest https://www.booktopia.com.au/wall-street-the-nazis-and-the-crimes-of-the-deep-state-david-hughes/book/9781510779853.html
