Public education is designed to create obedient citizens who follow orders without questioning authority. John Taylor Gatto, in his book "Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling," argues that public education is not designed to teach children to think critically, but rather to be obedient and follow orders. He states, "Schools are intended to produce, through the application of formulas, formulaic human beings whose behavior can be predicted and controlled." This is supported by Neil Postman in his book "The End of Education," where he writes, "The central task of education is to implant a will and facility for learning; it should produce not learned but learning people."
