William Collins: “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.”

Interesting. The first two paragraphs of the piece:

“That doyen of liberalism, John Stuart Mill, opined that, “A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mould 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.” On Liberty (1859).

This is intended to be the first of a sequence of articles on how authoritarianism is being implemented in 2025.”

One thought on “William Collins: “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.”

  1. From William Collins’ excellent article: “..the overreach of the Bill, and specifically its attempt to undermine parental authority in favour of State surveillance and control.”

    Only a few years ago, the SNP Government attempted to impose a State snooper scheme on every family in Scotland. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-49757890

    Back then, riding high, they really did believe that they could engineer some kind of thousand year Reich, manufacture generation after generation of little, feminist Nats, with no critical reasoning faculties. Difficult to believe, now that they have so spectacularly imploded.
