Four Falsehoods

Second time around
I'm still believing
The words that you said
--Naked Eyes

Lawrence Reed discusses falsehoods conveyed by the school system (particularly public schools) about four historical events/people:

1) That the Industrial Revolution ushered in a dark era and exploitation of the working class. Children in particular were hapless victims.

2) That Upton Sinclair's The Jungle was a historically accurate account of unscrupulous capitalism in the early 20th century that was 'solved' by subsequent government regulation.

3) That the Great Depression was eliminated by government intervention, particularly FDR's New Deal programs.

4) That Jesus was a socialist.

If you believe that any or all of the above or true, Reed suggests that you ask for a tuition refund. Of course, many students who have been so indoctrinated paid no tuition. Which nicely validates the  adage that you get what you pay for...

I would suggest that if you believe any or all of the above, then you are not engaging your capacity for critical thought. If you are pursing truth, then you would ask questions and find answers that would steer you away from the above falsehoods.
