Well, I guess to be fair to Rabbi Sacks and what was written to share his point -
He wrote prior - "There is a fundamental difference between a parent teaching a child why certain things are wrong, and a commander instructing those under his command not to do this or that. One is a form of education, the other is a relationship of command-and-control. Education is an apprenticeship in liberty; command-and-control is a demand for obedience, pure and simple."
Rabbi Sacks continues after my initial post- "God does not call for blind submission to His will.
God wants us to keep His laws freely and voluntarily because we understand them. Hence the unique insistence, throughout the Torah, on the importance of education as the constant conversation between the generations"
