What is the ultimate proof that mass institutional schooling has successfully conditioned the public out of critical discernment?

In Part 1 of The Ultimate History Lesson: A Weekend with John Taylor Gatto, John points to the 2004 presidential race. Both opposing nominees—representing supposedly diametric political parties—were fraternity brothers at Yale University in an organization that selects only 15 members per class. In a nation exceeding 300 million citizens, the mathematical odds against that pairing occurring by pure chance are astronomical.

Yet rather than dominating the headlines of the nation's leading newspapers, the institutional press dismissed the relationship as trivial, and the public accepted the narrative without question. Gatto emphasizes that this absence of public skepticism demonstrates the true outcome of compulsory schooling: an obedient population conditioned to overlook obvious conflicts of interest and accept the illusion of political choice.
