Anyone can sell ice to Bombay as New England merchants proved 200 years ago; it’s selling ice to Eskimo’s or $150 sneakers to poor children…that takes marketing. It’s an art, but what if it could be made into a science? How?By isolating children far from the everyday world, by confining them with total strangers in strange, sterilized environments where various inputs could be studied, where growing children could be scrutinized, labeled and numbered for different future utilizations? And where data collected from these children could be passed on to other levels of authority for evaluation. Out of this flow of information, materials toward a science of marketing and a science of management would inevitably arise.
…two congressional reports, one made in 1915 known as the Walsh Committee Report, the other printed in 1953 as the summary the aborted Reece Commission. Both reached the same conclusion 38 years apart-American schooling has been largely the creation (and ongoing management) of a group of private corporate foundations.

1890 Andrew Carnegie writes a series of eleven essays called "The Gospel of Wealth", a treatise which essentially stated that free enterprise and capitalism no longer existed in the United States, because he and Rockefeller owned everything, including the government, and that competition was impossible unless they allowed it.
Eventually, says Carnegie, the young children will become aware of this and form clandestine organizations to fight against it. Carnegie proposes that men of wealth form a synthetic free enterprise system based on cradle-to-grave schooling. (The Plantation) The people who advanced through schooling would be given licenses to lead profitable lives. (Plantation Negros & Plantation Crackas) All licenses are tied to forms of schooling. This way, the entire economy can be controlled and people have a motivation for them to learn what you want them to learn. It also places the minds of all children in the hands of a few social engineers.

I have no problem whatsoever believing that there was intelligent and malevolent design behind the current "education" system.
Did you attend one of those schools, or has your entire lifetime educational process been achieved outside of the plantation schooling? Is attendance in a plantation school automatically a lifetime shackle irrevocably connecting it's victims to the plantation, and if not, is proof that if doesn't work on everyone proof that everyone should have been able to overcome it? Doesn't this whole framework presuppose a victim mentality in that it postulates the "big bad man" keeping us down in spite of our efforts to rise above it, and aren't you categorically opposed to any such nonsensical thinking?
Now this was some interesting information.
And Exodus Mentality asked some good questions.

Before we get into the "Well you went to school too DV" argument.
Just let what I said from the get go sink in:
The Impending Irrelevance of School.
Public Enemy became the most controversial group of their time. Chuck D didn’t “rhyme for the sake of riddling.” He wanted social change. Yes, Chuck D went to regular school, yes he survived it, no it did not irrevocably connect him to the plantation, but both he and Hank Shocklee attended and met each other in Black Panther schools.
Yes, Afrika Bambatta, who started Zulu Nation and squashed the intense gang violence in NY (what law enforcement or social workers who were trained in the system couldn’t do), went to regular school. Yes he survived it, no it did not irrevocably connect him to the plantation. He also hung out at Black Panther information centers. Till this day, no Nobel Peace Prize or any recognition.
Everybody ain’t going to get through slang’n dope like Easy-E, Ice-T or Fiddie. However they can’t be used as “proof” that “everyone” can overcome the dope game and lead successful careers. Over crowded prison population and more prisons on the way based on 3rd grade test scores, is proof that this is designed so only a few slip through.
They tell us, “Negro, what are you complaining about this time? Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, President Obama is proof that you all are on an equal playing field." “Debilitating drugs, the crushing combination of poor schools, dysfunctional families, and inadequate opportunities and services –in housing, employment, and healthcare” does not irrevocably connect you all to the plantation.
“We all got a space to fill
Everybody can’t be on top”

@ Gee Chee - Earlier you cited the Gatto paper. (Which can be purchased in the book "Everything You Know is Wrong" in the discount bin at Barnes and Noble right now for under 10 bucks.)
The same report states that a lack of literacy is the most common factor for those in prison.
Is the problem a lack of schooling or what is being learned?
Thanks for the info on the book John.
