Until the left took over american public education in the second half of the 20th century, it was generally excellent - look at the high level of eighth-grade exams from early in the 20th century and you will weep. the more money the left has gotten for education - america now spends more per student than any country in the world - the worse the academic results. and the left has removed god and dress codes from schools - with socially disastrous results.

More From Dennis Prager

When a man spends his own money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about how much he spends and how he spends it. when a man spends his own money to buy something for someone else, he is still very careful about how much he spends, but somewhat less what he spends it on. when a man spends someone else's money to buy something for himself, he is very careful about what he buys, but doesn't care at all how much he spends. and when a man spends someone else's money on someone else, he does't care how much he spends or what he spends it on. and that's government for you.

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?

There are times i think of us all and i wish we were back in second grade. not really that young. but i wish it felt like second grade. i’m not saying everyone was friends back then. but we all got along. there were groups, but they didn’t really divide. at the end of the day, your class was your class, and you felt like you were a part of it. you had your friends and you had the other kids, but you didn’t really hate anyone longer than a couple of hours. everybody got a birthday card. in second grade, we were all in it together. now we’re all apart.

The different american experience of the 20th century is crucial because the lesson of the century for europe, which essentially is that the human condition is tragic, led it to have a build a welfare system and a set of laws and social arrangements that are more prophylactic than idealistic. it's not about building perfect futures; it's about preventing terrible pasts. i think that is something that europeans in the second half of the 20th century knew in their bones and americans never did, and it's one of the big differences between the two western cultures.

Given that the nineteenth century was the century of socialism, of liberalism, and of democracy, it does not necessarily follow that the twentieth century must also be a century of socialism, liberalism and democracy: political doctrines pass, but humanity remains, and it may rather be expected that this will be a century of authority ... a century of fascism. for if the nineteenth century was a century of individualism it may be expected that this will be the century of collectivism and hence the century of the state.

What we have now is democracy without citizens. no one is on the public's side. all the buyers are on the corporations' side. and the bureaucrats in the administration don't think the government belongs to the people.

Lf the attribute of popular government in peace is virtue, the attribute of popular government in revolution is at one and the same time virtue and terror, virtue without which terror is fatal, terror without which virtue is impotent. the terror is nothing but justice, prompt, severe, inflexible; it is thus an emanation of virtue.
