Not A History Teacher, I Hope

A teacher protesting John Stossel's Stupid in America special informs us:

"Public schools are what distinguish democracies from every other system in the world," and a country without strong public schools "lends itself to authoritarian thinking."

Tell it to the Germans. That free, compulsory education the Prussians introduced in the 18th century really produced a lot of independent, free-thinkers, didn't it?
