| H.L. Mencken | “The state maintains its control of elementary education, not primarily to reduce illiteracy and turn the eyes of the plain people toward the stars, but to make sure that they are not taught anything that is subversive. Public education is thus a police measure.” | 1924 | Review of The Goslings by Upton Sinclair (Baltimore Sun, 23rd February, 1924) |
