Educations function is already civilization building. The uncivilized are people who live outside of the system of state control. Civilization is the process of indoctrinating education to bring additional assets under the control of the state.

Some such as the author resist this trend because they prefer the traditional education system without understanding it’s historical social function.

The author is not discussing education as a parent might teach their child but rather as to how a state institution indoctrinates its students.
