"The whole public school system is child abuse though. There's just no other way to describe it."

Art Robinson, in his own words:

I wanted to make one comment on that. Of course he is absolutely right, I thought you might enjoy this. Several years ago I had the opportunity to speak to the Republican legislators of Maine about the subject of global warming. It was- I was very nervous- it was a dinner party and I was very nervous about this because I was going to tell them stuff that wasn't in the newspapers and are they going to throw me out on my ear you know, and I'm walking on eggs, and I'm giving the talk and people seem not, you know they're not leaving and they didn't seem angry and then we came to the question and answer period. And they were asking polite questions and that was going alright.

And some guy, I don't know why, he says, 'What do you think about the public schools?'.

And then I was dead. And my credibility was going to be gone and I looked at him and I said 'I think the public schools should be abolished.' And they loved it.

If you had listened to it-if you had been there to see it you would have thought that all the Republican legislators in Maine were ready to abolish the public schools. I'm not sure a single one would have voted for it, but they wanted it.

And I hope this, uh, changes.

Art Robinson, in his own words:

Public education (tax-financed socialism) has become the most widespread and devastating form of child abuse and racism in the United States.

Moreover, people who have been cut off at the knees by public education are so mentally handicapped that they cannot be responsible custodians of the energy technology base or other advanced accomplishments of our civilization.

These ignorant people vote, and their votes are beginning to destroy our way of life.

Can this problem be corrected? Yes. Can it be corrected by improving the public schools? No – only by abolishing them.

In January 2003, Art Robinson wrote an article in his newsletter, responding to a headline on MSNBC that read, "Caltech has fewest black freshman". Here is one line from his response.

"Even though it has relaxed its standards, Caltech has continued to admit based on merit and ability. Moreover, its applicants are weighted toward those who seek severe, difficult, total-immersion training in science - an experience few women and blacks desire."
