There is a huge difference between liberalism and
fascism. Liberalism is based on the idea that all people should be seen as individuals
who have rights that must be protected. Liberalism believes that people should tolerate
one another's differences. By contrast, fascism is based on the idea that all people
should be the same. They should all identify themselves with each other and their
ultimate goal should be to serve their country.
If you set
up schools that were based on these ideas, they would be very different. A liberal
school would encourage students to think and to express themselves. There would likely
be no dress code and the educational process would emphasize creativity and independent
thought. By contrast, a fascist school would emphasize thinking the "right" things and
all pulling together for the good of the school and the larger community. Students
might be required to wear uniforms. The curriculum would be geared towards teaching
students the "right" things and teaching them the idea that they should obey authority
and sacrifice for the common good.
