According to John Taylor Gatto and Michael Moore in “Against School” and “Idiot Nation” the American Schooling system deceives the public into believing that it is being educated when in fact both men agree the system is conforming Americans into childish consumers bereft of truly significant learning. Both of the authors discuss consumerism in their stories; John Taylor Gatto does not discuss it as indepthly as Michael Moor, but he does mention it on page 154, basically saying that school trained children to almost not think at all… (Gatto 154). Michael Moore speaks on consumerism for about a length of 22 paragraphs at a minimum. “The schools aren’t just looking for ways to advertise, they are also concerned with the students perceptions on various products… Companies conduct market research in classrooms during school hours. “ (Moore 141).
Her reason for this is many pupils need to be educated to give them a wide range of interests and abilities. This is being rejected by the new proposals.

When children are here as permanent residents and or their parents are on work visas they have equal rights to public education in the eyes of the government. This is also true for children born here even if their parents gave birth to them while illegally being here.
As I said before, its 2012 and many people voice their opinion and everyone isn’t God fearing human beings. Some may feel as though their rights are being ignored. As it was in my school you had to recite the Pledge, whether you liked it or not. I have heard of things such as if the child is an atheist or doesn’t want to say it could sit down or be sent out the room while that time is going on. But if we are a country of democracy why should someone be forced into reciting or doing something they don’t feel believe in.
He doesn’t agree with the fact that creationism is being taught in science classrooms. He is trying to repeal the Louisiana Science Education act of 2008, which basically is teaching creationism in public schools. I believe that public schools should follow the same curriculum and teach evolution instead of creationism because everyone has a mind of their own and some may not think that we were created by a higher power. Some believe we evolved. The ones who believes in creationism should be sent to a religious school.
Not only does media impact the bias but so does public education, growing p in public schools you hear how the government is not funding enough money to education, teachers aren't getting enough money , yet we still stand for the pledge.
