Ep. 133: Are teachers and college professors prison guards?

The Mindcrime Liberty Show discusses, are school teachers AND college professors merely prison guards? Is this rhetorical extremism? Are state schools merely about warehousing and disciplining children in order to create obedient soldiers and corporate employees? Why is there so much sympathy toward school teachers as well as college professors from the general public? Is there really any difference between “lower” and “higher” education? How much of a free choice is university/college education considering the need for credentials in order to get a decent job? Why is the Left, including so called left-libertarians, fairly uncritical of most college professors as well as school teachers given the authoritarian boss-like power they are granted with? Does anyone learn anything useful from college or public schools other than the hidden curriculum of obeying orders as well as the sheepskins/credentials? Why is it, from a 30,000 foot view, so many public schools and certain universities look so similar to minimum security prisons? Do they have the same purpose? Could society exist without them and what would education look like in a free society?
