Oh yes, Socrates loved having a governing body breathing down his neck telling him what he can and can't teach. That really worked out well for him.

The immense problem that I see from this is the fact that one omnipotent body decides every facet of what is taught. I have had no less than 41 teachers and each has made mo who I am. I absolutely deplored and disagreed with some of them, but my experiences with them have shaped my perception and the way I think.

So basically what you want is to be the dictator over a group of people who all have exactly the same morals and educational background. For someone who claims to be so well versed in the views of other cultures, you sure have a difficult time respecting the differences among people. I don't care if your utopia combines aspects of the !Kung, Nuer, Ancient Greek and Atlantean cultures- it still seeks to create one oppressive uniform mold- especially where education is concerned.
