I don't believe this

[Emu]

I was searching for sites that talk about educational theory becuase I like that kind of shit, and on one site I found this quote:

[center:63d9380a96]"Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, toward our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you as teachers to make all of these sick children well, by creating the international children of the future."
Dr. C.M. Pierce of Harvard University in a speech to teachers (1973)[/center:63d9380a96]

The site I found it on was using it to "prove" that schools were purposely trying to destroy the minds of children. The statement was so blatantly ridiculous that I couldn't believe the man had actually said it. The quote appeared in several different forms (For example, the date changed from 1973 to 1982, and the word "insane" was "mentally ill," and one site I looked at said the quote was taken from an indiscriminate 'phone call' as opposed to this equally indiscriminate 'speech to teachers' referenced here.)

I put the quote into a Google search and most of what turned up were either "Dumb Things Liberals Say" sites or sites "proving" that every single liberal is a Communist and somehow hold high ranking positions in education.

What I want to know: Does anyone have any hard evidence about this quote? Is it real? When was it said? The reason I want to know is that this quote is so blatanly stupid and has so many words changed that I can't believe it's real, but I also don't want to try to sift through all the bullshit that Google spat at me.
