To Deschool Means To Abolish The Power

At The Moment Of Death I Hope To Be Surprised.

Even If Nonpolluting Power Were Feasible And Abundant, The Use Of Energy On A Massive Scale Acts On Society Like A Drug That Is Physically Harmless But Psychically Enslaving. A Community Can Choose Between Methadone And "cold Turkey"-between Maintaining Its Addiction To Alien Energy And Kicking It In Painful Cramps-but No Society Can Have A Population That Is Hooked On Progressively Larger Numbers Of Energy Slaves And Whose Members Are Also Autonomously Active.

School Is An Institution Built On The Axiom That Learning Is The Result Of Teaching. And Institutional Wisdom Continues To Accept This Axiom, Despite Overwhelming Evidence To The Contrary.

The Public School Has Become The Established Church Of Secular Society.

A Low-energy Policy Allows For A Wide Choice Of Life-styles And Cultures. If, On The Other Hand, A Society Opts For High Energy Consumption, Its Social Relations Must Be Dictated By Technocracy And Will Be Equally Degrading Whether Labeled Capitalist Or Socialist.
