one flew over the cuckoo's nest

"I've heard that theory of the Therapeutic Community...how a guy has to learn to get along in a group before he'll be able to function in a normal society; how the group can help the guy by showing him where he's out of place; how society is what decides who's sane and who isn't, so you got to measure up. All that stuff... how the goal of the Therapeutic Community is a democratic ward, run completely by the patients and their votes, working toward making worth-while citizens to turn back Outside onto the street."

so school is like a mental institution, and children are insane.
and both institutions are running under the same by-the-people-for-the-people pretense.

give me insane any day.

Education controls the masses while it liberates individuals. Normal is a goal that leaders create and followers aspire to. You control which you want to be.
