Yeah, here in Vancouver, I’ve been noticing things continually being cut out of the VSB school curriculum. Statistics, gone. Capacitors in Physics, gone. Et cetera. Yet I still feel that public school has helped me – despite me having been through a teacher union strike as a student. Maybe it was just the culture of Canada that provided a better learning environment for me, or maybe I just SEEM to get better grades because the Canadian curriculum is more lax than the Asian one I used to study under.
Alas, I’ll never know if I would have been better off without public education, what with all that ‘crowding out’ stuff from the government.
Haha… This one really struck a nerve with me. I’m currently struggling in a contract position with the local school board. I can’t wait to get out of these prisons.
Another great comic. This one tingles my irony-bone because of the obvious caricature of govt schools, but I also caught a resemblance/reference to the movie “Cube.” Was that intended, or just in my head?
The whole idea of getting rid of public schools is what brought me to freedom. I was one of the many unfortunate people who had to suffer through them and really, feel I was limited because of them.
Wow! Kaboom! Love the action Dale, this is one of my favorites! I heard someone call them Child Prisons once. In fact I was driving up to a building the other day, thought for sure it was a prison, but I was wrong, it was a high school. Makes me wonder if they build them similar so you’re comfortable with the structure later when you’re on “the inside..”
Great idea — Dale, I don’t want to be presumptuous, but do you think if you gave the strip to the sentinel for free, or for a pittance, there’s any chance they’d take it? Buried in the classifieds perhaps, or in Local?
A great comic as usual Dale. I do have a problem with your RSS feed. I think that when I subscribe to feeds you should come to my house, make me a sandwich, and massage my feet while I read your comic.
spot-on, and my experience exactly. i was reading at 6th grade level before entering school and could do basic arithmetic. i loved learning and that spark died the moment i was dragged kicking and screaming up the hill to the local Gulag unit.
i’m amazed to see some here talking about the “benefits” they derived from it, but totally non-outraged about literally being *kidnapped* as a minor and having it called a “right” – if you believe that then the system really has done its job. does consent matter nothing as long as we get “results” – or i should say as long as “Industry” gets results from these Behaviourist fucks?!
_You_ or _I_ might not trust a protection racket to nurture young minds, but 90% of Americans do, and _that’s_ the biggest threat facing the Freedom Movement in the long term.
As long as people use gunpoint-funded schools because they don’t think they can afford something better, they’re not going to leave us alone.
Responding to Alec’s post above, we would have to say that “they” aren’t going to adopt the “everyone leaves everyone else alone” philosophy of the non-aggression principle UNTIL the price of their perpetual perpetration of aggression/force/fraud becomes VERY personal and VERY costly.
And, of course, as long as “they” can continue to perpetrate their looting through third-party actors/proxies, then we will continue to be victimized, assaulted, looted, and even murdered if we voluntarily choose to resist their bloodlust.
The changes will not occur until it has been made PERSONAL to the individual supporters of the mobocracy. That is not to say that it will be at the hands of their many victims, as it will more often than not, be at the hands of the very actors/proxies that they have previously employed to loot others on their behalf.
Once again we see that the looters must be allowed to consume everything around them, then each other, and then finally themselves.
This is more commonly known as the John Galt Solution and it is the only solution! Stop funding and forging the very chains and shackles that bind, imprison, and oppress you!
Regardless of your position or actions based on ANY solution, the geographical region commonly known as the United States of America will soon cease to exist in any currently recognizable form.
Those that have existed via the gunvernment-redistribution-tit will someday see that tit dry up and wither away and as their bellies cry out in hunger they will riot and loot and burn whole cities to the ground.
All this will come to pass and is the by-design, planned, divide-and-conquer destruction that must occur to get rid of the threat posed by the last privately-armed society.
Once the Amerikans are disarmed and the global-elite money-masters have ushered-in a new electronic global currency, there will be NO escaping the slave-nations of the prison-planet global-gulag.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming…
While I understand your sentiments about the public school system as a whole, I would have to say that my particular experience of it was not that bad. There were some few classes I would have opted out of, if given the choice. However, I was fortunate enough to go to a school where the teachers were not afraid to speak freely. I was never discouraged in my love for learning.
That said I do realize that I was incredibly lucky.
We don’t need no education–We don’t need no thought control. ; )

P.S: how’s that American dollar? It’s been falling from 1.289 CDN in April to 1.136 CDN today. Stagnation AND inflation, wow.

I do own that DVD, Mike, but unless I did it subconsciously, it’s just in your head.

DAMN YOU PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
Love it!

great as always Dale. What does it take to get a comic into newspapers? I want more people to see your comics.
