Basic sociology 101 taught us that our educational system was designed not to turn out free thinkers but worker drones to fill the factories for our industrial revolution.

I am unaware of that theory, and my background in soc is rather strong.
If all they wanted was to churn out worker bees, there would be no study of the classic liberal arts at all. Only tech schools.
You cannot produce a free thinker, you can only give them the education that will in time give a person some perspective... if done properly. Lack of perspective and apathy creates Americans.
There is no emphasis on intelligence in American society these days. Who wants to be the smart kid in school these days? All that gets you is your ass beat. Bright kids in school are pushed to the fringe and alienated. THAT is a fucked up society.
