By this statement, Fordas meant that the State tries to limit students' thinking and what they should and should not do.
Why does Fortas think this way?
- Fortas believes that students have the right to peacefully protest, as every American citizen is allowed by the first amendment.
- However, the State's attempt to punish students who do this is a way of limiting and manipulating them even more.
- This is because Fortas believes that the state should stimulate the individual thinking of students, but ignores this by forcing them to act in the way the state wants.
In this case, he states that just as in a closed circuit, energy circulates in a loop, the manipulation of the State on the students also circulates in a loop, leaving no gaps for new thoughts to emerge.
