the republicans do have their narrative straight. They keep folks obedient and compliant (via methods like corporal punishment and adherence to the church) - which in turn makes adults who are less likely to question authority. And more likely to back the MIC's plan. In the end it is all for profit, but they'd deny that up and down. They simply call it the "American Way" or "American Dream". But sadly for many children it's more of a living nightmare.
