[Note: translated from the original page in portuguese to english]
Its a culture of ease. We fear traumatizing the kids with the Iliad, or with History… The main objective now is to eliminate school failure by dumbing everything down. The education systems of the western world, today, are made to normalize and despise the most intelligent. They don’t valorize the elites, the idea itself of the elite is very poorly seen and given a lot of bad press. See the mediocrity of spanish, international and portuguese politics. Where is Churchill, Adenauer, Kennedy? School doesn’t care about a singular, brilliant individual anymore. They become an outcast, and its made to be believed that everyone is equal. But we aren’t all equal!
