Brings Paul Samuelson to mind

The EU has been accused of trying to “indoctrinate children” after a proposal was endorsed by MEPs to introduce a pro-Brussels “common curriculum” across the bloc.

The European Parliament signed off on a demand for member states to start teaching lessons on “European integration” to help crack down on an uptick of euroscepticism.

He once said that he didn’t care who ruled the society as long as he got to write the economics textbooks.

The implication being that that’s where the real power was, in shaping the minds of subsequent generations.

  1. Much of the current climate hysteria is an example of this played out… A generation indoctrinated into the climate-doom faith

  2. @Jonathan… Indeed. I believe that the Jesuits had the concept nailed many generations ago.

  3. The Jesuits were expelled from many countries and only just limp on now. So their strategy appears not to work.

    As a school teacher, I can assure you we have close to zero influence on our charges. Especially in the Era of the internet.

    All they will succeed in doing is to make European integration boring.

  4. Ah… The Next Step.. And they’re not even trying to hide their intentions… This’ll be Fun…

  5. The real surprise is that anyone is surprised. Nothing is off the table for “harmonisation”. The Europhile’s stock defence, “subsidiarity”, is actually an admission of this: national, nominally sovereign, governments are explicitly considered subsidiary to Brussels.

    “All they will succeed in doing is to make European integration boring.”

    That’s what they want. They’ve held a revolution in slow-motion over the last sixty years, usurping the power of nation states, instituting an entirely novel form of government, and few people have noticed because it’s all been as dull as ditchwater.
