Knowledge is power. That is why throughout history religions have tried to restrict access to education to only the clergy. When only priests could read and write they held all the power in their hands. Today, the Taliban and Isis still control women and girls in the same way, by denying them education.
It amazes me how some people rave about colleges in this country and how they're trying to "indoctrinate" kids. Would they rather they not get an education?
Exactly, while it sounds silly there are people who believe exactly that.
