Another Brick in the Wall (1979) was a hit song by Pink Floyd in criticizing schooling in England. It was ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the top 500 songs of all time. Its anti-liberal lyrics include:
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Its meaning is downplayed in the United States where liberals want public schools to have credibility as they indoctrinate kids with Leftist ideology.
The song captures, whether intentional or not, how Leftists view the victims of their propaganda, and how Dropbox Dems view voters.
