Prussian state schools came to America in the mid 1800’s, and they’re still here. Not a good sign.

I would take the Prussian state model over any functioning system that has ever been shown in the real modern world.And I am ducking fer sur!
Old Otto von was the granddaddy of the modern civil service. After cobbling the multi-fractious and various German states, principalities and the Prussian states into a unified Germany in 1871, somebody had to administer all the various departments and over-see the postal system, make sure folks got taxed, make sure the taxes got collected, make sure the trains ran on time ,etc. And then in something that would latter get to be a kind of habit with the Germans, to celebrate their new found power and glory as a unified nation, they invaded France in 1879. They’d do that again in 1914. And then again in 1940. The Krauts sure had a thing about kicking the Frenchies around.
