This is why the bedrock of any sane civilized population is public education. We try to give most individuals the opportunity to learn as much about how our society works as possible to give individuals the best chance at success available.

This is also why the current geopolitical situation was built on decades of undermining public education with homeschooling and "parent choice" initiatives. The USA's "No Child Left Behind" Act created an entire generation of children ripped out of public schools after decades of defunding public education created such poor conditions that parents were duped into believing dismantling public education was the solution.

Uneducated kids become ignorant, easily manipulated voters. Social media algorithms were specifically engineered to exploit this mechanism.
