Abandoné este libro luego de que 3 citas que vienen en el libro no son verificables, encima las nombra como reales y no como atribuidas.

El libro pretende demostrar que el sistema educativo está diseñado para el control de masas a través de limitar el uso de la información, luego cae justo en el uso deliberado de la información con el objetivo de crear un resentimiento a la institución, la cual no defiendo, pero tampoco pretendo atacar con argumentos interpretados o cuya atribución no está comprobada, mientras que el texto no lo deja claro.
