Why did Prometheus come down to give us knowledge? Zeus didn't want him to do this. Prometheus was sent into outer darkness for his sin.

 For thousands of years,  people understood that they should be thankful to Prometheus. He brought the fire, he brought the light, he brought the knowledge that humanity needed to rise above the level of dirt.

 I doubt kids today ever hear about Prometheus. But they should. 

Just as political leaders should now and then debate why they bother to build schools and pay for teachers when almost the entire Education Establishment has turned hostile to knowledge.

Schools become an empty joke if the kids are there all day and taught nothing. If the people in charge won't reform, I vote for letting the kids run wild in the woods. They'll learn more.

 Here's the question that everyone in ed school should have to answer: do you think the purpose of education is to make people free? Or is it to make them easier to control?

 Article is titled: "Education vs. the forces of darkness." There is a fine picture of Prometheus.
