Steve Bell's I Hate School Manifesto

School is a breeding ground for incompetence full of mindcontrol and brainwashing used on the children. The problem is, most people don't realize that they are being manipulated, students of public education least of all. Perhaps they just don't care though, don't want to know that they're being controlled. They're just happy living in their little cocoon of bliss and oblivion. I hate it though. I can't stand being controlled. I like to know where I'm going with out some administrator telling me what's right and wrong. School is a breeding ground for incompetence. It's no longer a place of learning, where free thought is invoked, rather it's a sanctuary of mindlessness. Free thinkers are dubbed as trouble makers, while unquestioned obedience is rewarded. I want so much more than to be programmed by public education. I want to ask questions, make them explain why the system is the way it is, but for that I'm punished. I give each and every person a mission, think for yourselves, question the authority, and never stop asking questions, because once the inquieres of the system stop, they have gained control over you, and everything you believe.
