This is something that I have also observed in Australia too. It is not just happening in the US. One must ask why this is allowed to happen and why the masses have always refused to challenge this.
Through out the ages the Vatican had a vested interest in keeping the masses dumbed down, even down to destroying technology such as sewers. The people had to be kept in basic conditions and not to rise up to be able to think and question their controllers. Reading was only for a select few and it was in Latin. The bible was in Latin too, and was read by the priest to the people. Ensuring that everyone was indoctrinated and controlled by fear.
In modern times we have seen the communists do similar in many countries. With Communist China Mao moved the educated people to the countryside to work like peasants, some were killed. Books were forbidden except his little red book. People that wore glasses were treated as a threat because glasses were a sign of being intelligent. Even Hitler wanted books destroyed under his dictatorship.
There is a sick need for controlling the masses and keeping them dumbed down so that they will not rise up and question or challenge the system. In our current times we have seen some books being banned such as 1984 by George Orwell (Eric Blair),, then a change in government and the banned books are back in the shops and libraries.
Critical thinkers are a threat to the psychopathic governments that control humanity. But this can only come about by people being lazy and indifferent. Give the masses enough goodies and they will not care about the loss of their rights and freedom. They enjoy their slavery and will shout down anyone that speaks out of line. This is self policing and self-correcting mentality which has been taught to the masses in increments in a way that they could not even perceive, when pointed out to them.
What gives others the right to insist that other individuals accept this enslavement of the mind? This is also the enslavement of the soul also. But these individuals are very much asleep spiritually and will never awaken spiritually in this world. They do not want to because they are fearful and ignorant of true spirituality.
How on earth can one bring a child into a world like this and subject them to this enslavement? It is a warped mentality and a form of controlled abuse.
