Just watched this movie, it's frighteningly identical to all the problems that I had in school, even as "one of the good kids". The one important thing I think was mostly left out of the video is how detrimental it is to have 40+ students in a classroom and a teacher who's had their passion beaten out of them. Everyone just tries to survive school, let alone actually get something out of it. It really is like a prison.

I'm 21 right now and I saw the school system getting worse. For the first time in about 10th grade, there was a 'lockdown' and they had drug sniffing dogs and did some juvenile drug busts. That was the very first time in my whole life I even heard of stuff like that. I mean, our school had a few 'bomb threats'. But, that is no excuse to act like people did after 9/11 and tell the government "Yes to the PATRIOT Act, yes please take my civil liberties away. I'm scared!" Parents are to blame too.

well once children start behaving a not bringing guns to school and shooting up the whole place then I think the cops/security can leave.
Plus am I the only one that noticed that they mostly showed black kids...? I don't really think it's a coincidence.

What a load of crap. I am a student and this is rediculous. I am aware that there are bad schools out there, and this is showcasing thoughs and using them as an example for the entire school system. Total crap. Show a movie that isn't written by rebellious teenagers.

be afraid of sex, drugs, eachother, their families, the political hot button "enemy", and get to walk around from one indoctrination room to the next chowing down on "guvment" feed after they get the shit kicked out of them by jocks, get laughed at for thinking different, and then they get to go home and they wanna smoke pot like I did because their LIFE SUCKS. Public education sucks and the corporate faggots who love it suck...THANKS

Public education is a system of imposed ignorance. The history books are written by corporations that censor history, the sciences are over-simplified, all critical thought and passion are sucked out of the children, you get benefits from joining paramilitary clubs like ROTC, you're not allowed to touch or kiss other children in any way, the administrators get subsidies for every kid they dose on ADD drugs, the surveillance systems and cops are out of control, the kids are programmed to......

Both my parents are teachers. One thing they say has changed is that the only thing administrators care about anymore is prepping kids for the standardized tests so they don't loose any of their funding. No more time for inspirational lessons or lectures that stick with you till you have kids of your own. Now it's all about making sure you can remember a list of random facts long enough for you to put the answer on the scantron before you flush it out of your memory forever.

children are carry the morals instilled in them by their parents, if they have none then they simply abandonded those morals or their parent never taught them anything.

@infospectacle Not only does music evoke an array of emotions, it can be used to shape feelings and responses (yes, exactly how oil paint can envoke a feeling or response- we at least agree on one thing). But don't get carried away and flatly state "films use music" without understanding the implications of that use..it's not "just there" , it is there for a reason...part of the package of emotional manipulation. Much like this video is a package of propaganda used to sway fringe opinions.
Your complaint is moronic. All art seeks to shape opinion. Propaganda emerges when that effort is not based on the best available factual evidence. Your attack on the information provided is disingenuous and inaccurate, and your assertion that anything that tries to alter opinion is propaganda is facetious. I will take my cue from Thomas Paine and cease to bother responding to your inanities. "Arguing with people who have lost all sense of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."
