Class Envy

The malevolence of the left is relentless. They just cannot tolerate the idea of academic excellence. Not content with trashing the grammars they turn to the educational vandalism of the few state schools that have acheived and seek to turn them into centres of mediocrity by bussing in the non achievers to effect some egalitarian socialist levelling and dumbing down. Schools have become laboratories of social experimenting and engineering instead of places of learning.

Now there may be a lottery used for selection. Choice is to be replaced with chance. Choice according to them is merely a 'mantra' and egalitarianism must prevail even though its baleful consequences have left a trail of devastation and educational bankruptcy across the State system.

Cut taxes radically and everyone would be able to afford private education. That would stop education being used as a political football.A governemnt dictated curicula is the sine qua non of totalitarians -which is probably why leftist love State Education.
