In this country, we are very sensitive about using the military to coerce society. However, we are a police state. For instance, TSA is a federal program that we the people have no choice but to put up with. They have the power of arrest. If we want to travel, we have to deal with them. We have a plethora of government agencies with power to arrest. I totally agree with the "school" as a more subtle way of instilling dependence, fear, and obedience. The answer is to defund most of the federal agencies that have the power of the gun and of arrest, and to dismantle the teacher's unions. Return the responsibility of education to the individual states with no strings attached to the feds.
