Samizdata quote of the day
Brian Micklethwait (London)  Education • Slogans/quotations

The frankly shocking discovery that this blog is being used as an educational aid for A-Level politics students is proof, if proof were ever needed, that state education is failing our children.

- Guido Fawkes yesterday (knowing that no-one will agree)

Comments

Its also proof that the state will never truly be able to dumb us all down.

Somehow, I'm comforted by the thought that Billy Beck's incendiary comments are becoming part of the British education system.

As for my pro-gun ownership rants...

I thought for a moment you meant this blog was A-level material. Now that would be shocking.

At least it is proof the little horrors can read...

Well I have been approached on several occasions by students writing about blogging and the like. Have been email interviewed by a few and did one phoner as well.
