My comment provider, Haloscan, was down for a few hours. I regret the inconvenience. If you've gotten over it, you can check this week's Carnival of Education, which is right here.
The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.
