Free to learn: the immorality of compulsory schools
Christian Dean
“The school system isn’t wrong in the sense that it’s further
from the truth than Karl Popper. It’s wrong like the Catholic
Church was wrong in refusing to accept Galileo’s heliocentrism
and in locking him up so as to protect their worldview. It
doesn’t capture any part of reality, and because of this it
doesn’t solve any problems. In fact, it causes more problems
than it could ever hope to solve.”
– Christian Dean
A peculiar meme seems to have dominated throughout human
history, namely, that there always exists some demographic that
is less than human. First it was race; then, women. Now, the
final demographic desperately waiting for equal moral standing
is children.
Today, the institutional instantiation of this meme, of course,
is the education system. From the age of five, children are
placed on a conveyor belt—tedious for some, torturous for
many—until they alight in possession of what authorities have
deemed “an education”.
Most would agree that a state of ignorance never justifies
coercion, yet for reasons I shall explain below, this courtesy
extends only to the point of puberty.
A false theory of mind
Rather than analyse the history of the school system, I think it
more fruitful to analyse the current philosophical ideas that
are justifying this treatment of children in the minds of
adults. After all, we are all prone to err, but something is
preventing this error from being corrected.
That something, I believe, is what Sir Karl Popper called, ‘The
Bucket Theory of Mind’. The theory is as follows:
Knowledge can be transferred with high fidelity from one mind to
another. In other words, the mind is like a bucket into which
knowledge can be poured.
As a child, I remember teachers and parents telling me that my
brain is like a “sponge”, so it’s important to be exposed to as
much as possible during these critical years of my life, because
after this, learning becomes slow and arduous.
This theory of mind, then, is the life-raft of the otherwise
foundation-less education system. It justifies shuttling batches
of thirty kids from classroom to classroom for the entirety of
their youth. Exams, curricula, and age-based learning are all
natural extensions of the belief that there is a critical age at
which kids absorb knowledge. So too, is coercion. As it turns
out, this theory of mind is entirely false.

Here we go again with False Leftism. False Leftist
anti-racism/anti-sexism was based on claiming that "white"
supremacists/patriarchists are wrong in their assessment of
"non-whites'"/women's ability to maintain Western civilization
if allowed into positions of power, instead of arguing that the
death of Western civilization ASAP is what any ethical person
should want. Now on schooling, its claim is:

But what if it isn't? Do we then accept compulsory schooling?
This is why I can't stand False Leftism. A convincing rejection
of compulsory schooling must begin by assuming that all the
benefits of compulsory schooling posited by rightists are true,
and then arguing that all these benefits do not justify
initiating violence. This is True Leftism.

The inferiority of Western scientists (compared to the prestige
they receive from Western society) never ceases to amaze me. Why
not simply think back to when you were a baby? Were you afraid
of snakes? That is all you need to arrive at the same
conclusion!
Instead, I am worried about what violence was initiated by the
Western scientists against the snakes in the experiment (were
their teeth removed?) prior to them being placed in proximity to
the babies.
And why snakes in particular? (Not that I am requesting similar
experiments involving other animals!!) The whole thing is just
Western scientists projecting their own biases.

I saw this anarchist post on reddit:

Commenters calling the OP out:

1.) Everyone, including those who are not anarchists, think that
the authorities they support are justified. This is a terrible
definition of anarchism.
2.) It's not absurd to suggest that child is entitled to
autonomy any more than it would be absurd to suggest that adults
are. Why should someone be able to "assign" duties to a child
any more than I could "assign" you duties? Should I be able to
tell you what time to go to bed? when and if to go to school?
you give these examples as if it's just plainly obvious that
children are the exception.
"it seems obvious" doesn't seem to be "justification" which is
what you said you would require to have authority. You wouldn't
allow someone to have arbitrary authority over you with simply
"it seems obvious I should" would you? so why do you accept this
in the case of children?

The critical commenters are trying* to become consistent
anarchists. But even if they themselves do so, how do they deal
with those who do not?
(* A genuinely consistent anarchist would not reproduce in the
first place, of course.)

--- End Quote ---
You should not. So if you have a child and do not tell the child
when to go to bed, so far so good. But then you hear your
neighbour telling their child when to go to bed. Now what? In a
stateless society (which is what anarchists want), you would
have to intervene personally. But what if your neighbour does
not answer the door? Do you keep a battering ram ready for such
scenarios? But if everyone has a battering ram, it would also
become possible for anyone to enter neighbours' homes for
unjustified reasons. No one would feel safe despite having a
door. Everyone would then start reinforcing their doors to
withstand battering rams. And then everyone would have to keep
explosives to overcome the reinforced doors. And so on. Would it
therefore not be less absurd to have a state, so you can just
call the police instead (or better yet, the state provides
alternative food/lodging/etc. for children in the first place)?
This is why we are not anarchists. Preventing parental tyranny
is most efficiently achieved by the state.
What about those who do not want to live under such a state?
They can choose to leave whenever they want, provided their
reproductive potential is surgically removed first. Anyone
concerned about parental tyranny, even those themselves not
intending to reproduce anyway, should agree to this, since they
would be aware that without this others would leave and then
reproduce and then practice parental tyranny.
Welcome to National Socialism.

"Everyone would then start reinforcing their doors to withstand
battering rams. And then everyone would have to keep explosives
to overcome the reinforced doors. And so on."
Eventually this would lead to a scenario where
capitalists/machinists (mostly "Whites" btw) end up getting away
with parental tyranny while the poor/non-machinists (mostly "non
Whites") do not. Which is why "Whites" (including Jews, such as
Chomsky as the OP mentioned) support anarchism.
