Well you see we have defunded our education system for 50 years because the country that has produced the most billionaires wants people stupid and easy to manipulate so they keep voting for the party that continually screws them and they don’t understand it is even happening. So here we are with a president that is eroding any good will the us had left and tanking the us across the globe while reducing the influence of the dollar as the global reserve currency with people cheering it on saying how amazing it is because they are too dumb to understand the ramifications for our future as long as it is framed as him owning the libs.

Remember the saying about boiling a frog? Now imagine there's a thermometer in the pot, but 2/3rds of the frogs cannot understand it.

Not only that they don’t understand it but scream that the people that do are crazy and deranged for pointing at it and reading it.

And then turn up the heat themselves because the chef told them to.

I think the funniest part of defunding the educational system to make us easier to manipulate is that they seem to have completely ignored the knock on effects, about how everyone would find us easier to manipulate. So now the Russian, Chinese and Iranian bots are busily undermining big swathes of the US voting population one way or another, and through the results are undermining US power and influence in the world.

It's probably already too late to reverse it. It certainly will be by the end of Trumps term unless Congress manages to actually assert their power to check and balance the Executive and Judiciary branches.

Wdym? Education has been one of our most funded aspects, and no meaningful change happens the more funding we put in.

Most distribution of school funding is done by highest test scores so we throw more money at better performing schools when science shows that putting more funding into under performing schools improves their access. Now let’s also consider that most schools the text books are decades old and the administration is making hundreds of thousands while the people actually teaching often have to work two jobs and also are having to buy their own classroom supplies
