put the anticommunist brew away, the bad guy in this story is american christians, who created a system modeled after prussian military schools because those created very obedient soldiers. while implementing the public school system they made sure it fit their clearly stated goals of having a population that will be dutiful to christ, and which is smart enough to generally improve society but not smart enough to complain about factory working.
its actually quite funny to read their reports on how teachers were seen by themselves/everyone else in the 1800s, because its very exactly the same way now
