I agree 100% with OP. However, I believe this thread is better suited in the
Politics & Society section.
How are activists corrupt? Ok I get that some of them have financial motives, but all of them? There are people protesting about Simpsons shows on TV being rescheduled, how are those corrupt?
I don't see why schools could be corrupt too.
I can't think of many things being as free from corruption as schools. There are not many reasons someone paid by the state to teach children would be corrupt bec ause of money... What would the reason behind that be really?
Encouraging people to protest 'The Simpsons being rescheduled' as opposed to real corruption in government is corruption at its best, by distracting people from meaningful pursuits.
The corporate mindset co-opts most activist groups and charities into becoming profit motivated, lining the pockets of CEOs and doing very little towards solving the problems they were originally created to solve, lest they go out of business.
Schools are all about conditioning, not education. They produce "good workers" incapable of critical thinking. Memorization is the key to graduation. Creative thinking is discouraged. Teachers are powerless to really help their students since they do not make policy. John Taylor Gatto wrote a great book on this subject called 'The Underground History of American Education'.

free public education as corrupt by money. At least not in most countries.
