Compulsory Education in the United States, A History (by Murray Rothbard)
Channel: Man Against The State
Date: 2017-08-27

Schooling in the United States began by copying the English model of voluntary private schools.  But gradually through the 19th century, public schools were established and eventually attendance at them was made compulsory.  They have served, and continue to serve, as a useful tool for state indoctrination into socialism, progressivism and egalitarianism.

This is the last of the three parts of Murray Rothbard's resplendent manifesto on education: "Education: Free and Compulsory".  It was recorded for the Mises Institute.
