I remember watching an interview of Noam Chomsky talking about revolts against education as "peasants feared indoctrination". Now I do know that peasants revolted for material reasons (losing workforce), but I didn't find any event that would support Chomsky's claim. Does anyone know any?
Mass education was designed to turn independent farmers into docile, passive tools of production. That was its primary purpose. And don’t think people didn’t know it. They knew it and they fought against it.
