Had a burst of energy last night and wrote a brief polemic on education, I wanna know yalls opinion

War of the age

With these words, I declare war upon the institution of education! Let thunder fall from the sky and strike the very pillars of modern sensibility! There's been a terrible stench hanging in the air for far too long now. Now is the time to rid ourselves of this distasteful odor! Modern education, as we know it, reeks of conformity and stupidity. Why don't we teach our youth the epics? Why not philosophy, psychology, and art? Why not the conquests of Napoleon, Caesar, and Alexander the Great? Why don't we teach them to be great? Instead, we give them filth. History is taught through the eyes of the nation. Which by every metric is an egregious error. The nation only teaches what is beneficial to itself, anything that conveys the message: We are the good and victorious men of history; we alone are the righteous and just. Art makes our vision clear with beauty and creativity. Philosophy teaches us to think critically, and psychology teaches us about ourselves. The conquests of great men teach us our inner greatness and strength; we look on with awe for what is possible. We find exuberant joy and a lust for life with such ideas. The problem with our all-too-modern men is they know only stale bread and leftover crumbs. It's time for men to feast and drink wine! We must now ride that great tide and bid farewell to the old. I now prompt the following: The history of education shall be looked over with careful eyes, and we must pick out its greatest seeds and discard moldy fruit. We must plant the seeds with our richest soil and nurture it well.
