Since I poured soup all over this, I'll preserve it here before I throw it away

It's just a note I copied from somewhere years ago:

A general State education is a mere contrivance for molding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mold in which it casts them is that which pleases the dominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, an aristocracy, or a majority of the existing generation; in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by a natural tendency to one over the body.
--John Stuart Mill, 1839.
