"What you are suggesting, it seems to me, is that a basic social norm (here my discussion with Neo pokes its head in) is conformity of behavior and discouragement of individuality."

First let me say I agree with your "survival" premise. However, the above does not represent my suggestion at all. Define public education. Not what you would like it to be but what its intended goal is. If it is anything other than a system of indoctrinating youth toward a particular kind of adult model lets start with that. If the intent is to create a base of knowledge, skills, and abilities for the participants, then why should we complicate it with personal or political agendas that would contaminate that unnecessarily?
