I don't think that it warrants a name so grand-sounding as 'industrial information warfare tactics and propaganda'. I don't even believe it was done entirely intentionally. When I was going to school in the 90s, schools were locking down more and more each year. Eventually, that produced Columbine and several other school shootings, intensifying their efforts (they were blind to the fact that they were the cause). Eventually they reached a fairly steady state of today, where learned helplessness is inflicted either before or early in adolescence, resulting in things like a 40% drop in the number of 16 year olds who have a drivers license between 2005 and 2015, many fewer adolescents having jobs during school, etc. Why try, if you are going to be surveilled and get your hand slapped at the slightest violation, and have every rough spot or sharp corner sanded down off of your personality. If you don't want to get classified as a threat and separated and sent to remediation therapy and special schooling and things like that, that is. In the name of security, the teachers derision for the weird kids was given sharp teeth, eventually perfected. The tunnel vision that develops during schooling, the one that leads kids to kill themselves or each other over simple school problems because they can't even see themselves as human beings with a life outside of the school environment, extends further now, well into college, and perhaps soon far beyond.
