42. It's the Brittish anti- public school system: Only the rich get educated

The bottom line is that we used to know that democracy depended on a well educated electorate, and that our prosperity also depended on a skilled workforce.

But when you don't give a crap about the middle class, minorities, and democracy, you limit advantages to those who were born into them: The entitled rich.

This is the end of democracy, of our meritocracy where every child gets a fair chance to rise above his or her parent's limitations on the basis of hard word.

This is the privileged putting down the rest of us.

This is the ultimate expression of the oppression of the 99% by the 1%.

These schools will fail, and the question will be, Will anyone care?
