But if the intent was to rail against blind authoritarianism, I get that, but somehow I can see too many listening to that song and jumping to anarchy. There is something to be said about fighting abuse of authority, but that should not come at the cost of devaluing education.
I wasn't aware that people were turning to anarchy based on this song.
And I don't see the song as devaluing education. I see it as objecting to learning by rote and stifling creativity.
