Education
Someone who is able to think for his or her self is a threat to the nobility. This is why state control of education is crucial if the nobility are to maintain control. The compulsory K-12 state school system is an early detection device for individuals who might later become a competitive threat for capital from the nobility.
Most real education or learning that takes place in a school system is in the college or university. The college or university gets a smaller if any share of its financing from the state. Hence the state has less control over this system.
If most real learning takes place beyond the K-12 system then what the hell is happening in K-12?
The k-12 system is constructed to teach allegence to state.
It prepares the masses for a lifetime of servitude to the nobility.
An agent(teacher) of the K-12 system will spend most of his or her time attempting to break the individuals natural inclination to question unjust authority. Unfortunatly most of the time they are sucessful. Those who resist are encouraged to "drop out". This makes college education a virtual impossibility. Those who conform the most are generaly given the best treatment by the K-12 agent, including letters of recommendation to the best colleges etc.
However, the homeschooling movement threatens to overthrow the state run nobility protection machine.
Now the government along with nobility owned corporations are engaging in a massive propoganda campaign regarding education. A highschool diploma has become a title of nobility. To illustrate the point I will ask you to research the history of the compulsory K-12 attendence in the United States of America.
In the late 1800's there were few if any government regulations on the formation of capital for productive use. this was a time of equality of opportunity. The blacks were emacipated from slavery.
At this time anyone had a chance to earn capital. It made no difference weather or not they were nobility or born in poverty. They had the right to produce regardless of race, gender, or AGE.
They came from the farm in search of opportunity. Some had ideas for great inventions. Some just wanted to see what was in the big cities they heard about. Some just wanted money. Whatever the reason they all came to work in the great factories in those cities.
As they grew old they used the wages saved from working in the factories to finance their inventions, travels, dreams, and independence.
One thing those young factory workers would do is start competing factories with the money they saved over the years working for someone else.
The new factory quickly took market share away from the old one. This in because the owner of the new factory was willing to try new ways of doing things. While this was happening the old factory owner was more interested in the secure cash flow than trying something new. Otherwise called "risking capital".
If the old owner had been willing to try new ways of doing things(inovation) his employee would be less willing to risk his hard earned capital competing with him.
Of course I'm refering to young people leaving the farm. Some as young as ten years old working in those factories. They did it all without titles of nobility or inherited wealth.
Around the late 1890's many of the factory owners who built factories after the war between the states were dying. The factories in most cases were passes on to the children of the builders. Most of the nobility controlled factories lost market share to the new factories built by the people who worked in there parent's factories. There was also older workes in the factories who were foolish with their wages over the years. The broken 40 year old fool. Those older workers did not want to compete with younger workers for the wages.
This is how compusory education began in the USA.
The first right lost was the right to earn a living regardless of age.
The old workers liked it because now they no longer had to compete with younger people.
The compulsory education system was good for the nobility owned factories. Once an idividual graduated highschool he has learn to hate his mind. Now he would be willing to follow orders without question in the nobility owned factories. Once broken by the nobility protection machine(known as school) the danger of the individual starting a competing factory was almost annihilated.
