The War on Kids is a 2009 documentary film about the American school
system. The film takes a look at public school education in America and
concludes that schools are not only failing to educate, but are
increasingly authoritarian institutions more akin to prisons that are
eroding the foundations of American democracy. Students are robbed of
basic freedoms primarily due to irrational fears; they are searched,
arbitrarily punished and force-fed dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. The
educational mission of the public school system has been reduced from
one of learning and preparation for adult citizenship to one of control
and containment.
