I shouldn't always write so negatively about Germany and Europe, so here's something positive. The massive involvement of the state in the education sector is leading to a mass dumbing down of the population. We know this from anecdotal stories, but we can also prove it very well with the Pisa study in Europe. The general level of education is declining, the penetration of the minds by state propaganda is more important!
Here's the good thing about it: the more stupid the people, the lower the economic performance, the sooner we can hope for a collapse of the gigantic state machine. And now switch on the TV, kids!
