The stated purpose is to provide mental stimulation that helps prevent boredom and depression. As I reflected on this my mind turned to my own students, iPads in hand as they chart a brave new world of education. Framing this in a Beckerian perspective, do the iPads reflect a genuflection at the altar of our new god Technos who has stepped into the void created by the demise of standard brand religious and cultural myths?

FGM is a practice where female girls are taken for circumcision as a result of cultural beliefs in some parts of the north, depriving them from starting school in their early ages.

State conservative groups plan US-wide assault on education, health and tax | World news. Conservative groups across the US are planning a co-ordinated assault against public sector rights and services in the key areas of education, healthcare, income tax, workers' compensation and the environment, documents obtained by the Guardian reveal. The strategy for the state-level organisations, which describe themselves as "free-market thinktanks", includes proposals from six different states for cuts in public sector pensions, campaigns to reduce the wages of government workers and eliminate income taxes, school voucher schemes to counter public education, opposition to Medicaid, and a campaign against regional efforts to combat greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. The policy goals are contained in a set of funding proposals obtained by the Guardian. The proposals were co-ordinated by the State Policy Network, an alliance of groups that act as incubators of conservative strategy at state level.

Instead, the Basses were shocked when their son came home from the taxpayer-funded school with apparently religiously motivated anti-science books. One of these books blamed Darwin’s theory of evolution for the Holocaust: [Hitler] has written that the Aryan (German) race would be the leader in all human progress.
To accomplish that goal, all “lower races” should either be enslaved or eliminated. Apparently the theory of evolution and its “survival of the fittest” philosophy had taken root in Hitler’s warped mind. For Joshua, attacks on science in the classroom were unacceptable.

An important part of revolution is thinking for oneself and diversifying sources of information and education. Apple's CEO, Steve Jobs, who ordered the creation of the previously mentioned Think Different campaign, said in an interview for the 1994 PBS documentary, One Last Thing: When you grow up you tend to get told the world is the way it is and your life is just to live your life inside the world.
