John Taylor Gatto brings to light the extent to which children have been enslaved by our current educational system and how this system has been used as a tool to enslave us all.
It's a long talk and his voice is going so it's not always easy to hear but I felt it was worthwhile to listen to the end. It was moving to see his reaction to his own talk - I seemed to be in tears after finishing it.

The Ultimate History Lesson
I'm still in the middle of listening to this 5 hour talk. So far, it is about the history of control of people through the educational system.
I love John Taylor Gatto. I think he defines the act of love as empowering others through real education. There's a 16 minute introduction.
