Top 10 Worst “Accomplishments” of the American Labor Movement

8. Public Education for Children 

Since children are not allowed to work, anymore, something has to be done with their time. Mandatory public education for children forces all parents to send their children to a public school, if they cannot afford a private one, where our youngest citizens are indoctrinated in statism. While parents have always educated their children, and literacy in the United States was high before education was nationalized, today the public schools in the United States see to it that most children know less about arithmetic and reading and history and mathematics and science than they used to know before going to school was mandatory. So if you want to know why a high school diploma is not considered sufficient for an entry-level position, you can thank the Labor Movement.
