Something I found...

"Eicke used his demented abilities to centralise the [concentration] camp system and lay down a standardised pattern of brutality in accordance with his guiding principle, 'tolerance is weakness.'"
-From Teach Yourself Nazi Germany by Michael Lynch

Oh my gosh, it's NAPLAN! (Obviously, standardised tests such as NAPLAN aren't quite so bad as the concentration camps which killed millions of people. Please don't think that I'm undermining the deaths in the concentration camps, because I'm not. I'm just trying to point out how standardisation isn't always a good thing, and NAPLAN is a standardised test.)
