Other attributions: None known. Status: This quotation has not been found in any of the writings of Thomas Jefferson. Comments: This quotation seems to have originated in an article of the same title on PicktheBusiness.com.1 It is an accurate paraphrase of Jefferson's views on education, but the exact phrasing seems to belong to the author of the article, and not Jefferson. The article title appears to have been mistaken by others as a direct quotation from Jefferson's 1816 letter to Charles Yancey, which is mentioned in the article, but the exact quotation does not appear in that letter or in any other known Jefferson writings. - Anna Berkes, March 30, 2010; revised August 24, 2011 Further Sources •Jefferson to Charles Yancey, January 6, 1816, in Ford, 10:1-4.

There are those who say that was Jefferson's position, and others who say it was not. Jefferson made a number of enemies, some of which exist today who are attempting to fabicate evidence or revise history to detract from him and will reference each other exclusively to in attempts to construct a momentum in line with critical theory. I never met the man or received correspondence from him. Jefferson was an intelligent man and one of this nations founders. Other than that I can not contribute any solid irrefutable evidence. rlk  posted on  2015-07-30   5:44:48 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #4.

So you disregard historical records as being reliable sources of information and facts upon which one can make conclusions? потому что Бог хочет это тот путь SOSO  posted on  2015-07-30   10:22:19 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #5.

Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey Monticello Jan. 6. 16. ...if a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be. the functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. there is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe. I think that the paraphrased quotation, although not Jefferson's exact words, is much more concise and easier to understand.

I agree with the sentiment. It is why we need universal public education, and why education to a certain age be mandatory.
