LIVE VIDEO OF CORNEILIUS! NEW! SHARE IT!
A live take of a set I did at the Conscious Cabaret in Brighton on 16th June 2008!
This one's about John Taylor Gattos expose of the hidden agenda of COMPULSORY STATE EDUCATION...
The chorus line is
"All children are intelligent,
All children are beautiful,
All children are creators this we know!"
Sing it with gusto!
Mark Hellewell shot the video, I did an edit or two and the good folk of Brighton provided the spiritual support! Bless!
Pass this on, if you please, along with the following :
Carnegie and Rockefeller, as late as 1915, were spending more themselves. In this laissez-faire fashion a system of modern schooling was constructed without public participation. The motives for this are undoubtedly mixed, but it will be useful for you to hear a few excerpts from the first mission statement of Rockefeller's General Education Board as they occur in a document called Occasional Letter Number One (1906):
In our dreams...people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple...we will organize children...and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way.
This mission statement will reward multiple rereadings.
