Teacher's teacher

Education comes from the Latin word educere which means "to lift up". In the case of this "witness", named Abdul, he revealed that he was "educated" to "kill" for the Ampatuans ABS-CBN called them "child assassins". From his memory, he could remember killing more than 100 people on order from the Ampatuans. Upon hearing this, the Commission on Human Rights through its Commissioner, Ms. Lila Delima, could not help but comment that this information should be investigated for it is another proof of how brazen the Ampatuans are.

We always give it the benefit of the doubt but the idea is not new. There are benefactors who believe in starting them young so they become "brainwashed" and are beholdened to the ones who take care of them. This is a very sad reality however, for we are supposed to lead the children to the right path.
