The question asked us unanswerable. Why? Because the word Education is undefined. What passes today for education is most certainly not. It is based on opinion, not on fact. Our system of education today is producing more sociopaths than a functional society can cope with.
What is Education?
Let us first state the Law of Identity, A = A. or in common grammar, A thing is not different from itself.
So what are we? We are potentially the most powerful life support system possible and that power comes through information processing. You should be familiar with corporate sociopaths who use that fact against the human race by now.
We are an information processor, i.e., we function using binary recursion, using four specific systems of Grammar: Common Grammar, Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry. Yet there is no educational system in the world dedicated to teaching anybody how to do their own work.
Which means, compulsory education, practiced today, is a violation of human rights practiced around the world. Education today divorces a child's mind from biological fact, leading to the production of children who cannot think their way out of a paper bag, they are often sociopathic, depressed and suicidal.
We, as a mind, have one, and only one job to do. One and only one method of doing it. It is not a matter of opinion, religion, mysticism or science. It is just a fact.
Our mind is designed to learn how to modify our behavior, towards ourselves and our environment. Look at the world and what man is doing to it. Who can be blamed? Those who claim to be man's teachers. You can teach a mind to do its own work, or you can fail at doing so.
Being taxed for an education not provided is the same thing as extortion.
Is Compulsory Education a Violation of Human Rights?
Re: Is Compulsory Education a Violation of Human Rights?
Biology itself tells us we are under compulsion to become educated on how to survive in our environment, however, when a governing body removes children from their actual environment. claiming to be educating them, but instead produces stupid children who cannot actually survive, the state is in clear violation of human rights. Social education has to work with actual life, work in tandem with actual life, or be overthrown by the people, in any way possible. The standard of education is biologically defined, it is not defined by any person or collection of persons.
