Few modern theorists care to comment on group intimidation within and without the schools. However, Horace Mann who organized the first public school system in the late 19th century warned society not to put too much pressure on the schools as the students would suffer harm. Mann may not have envisioned the vicious political structure which developed within public education, but it appears the 21st century with its student bloodbaths has proven Mann's theory.
Not all teachers are responsible for the system this book describes. Most have been muzzled under a McCarthy-like shadow of 'guilty for not being one of us.' Similar to the McCarthy era--the educational system is run on fear, disseminated by administration-backed enforcers, many who possess a criminal mentality.
Dylan Miller recommends we listen to the student shooters (and other students who have also suffered within the schools) instead of conveniently branding them with mental disorders---which allegedly have no relationship to our society. We have a corrupt culture passed down to our communities from politics and corporations. Those involved in corruption deny it! This corruption kills. Let's dig it up and shine the light on it.
