      Yeah no joke, when No Child Left Behind was implemented by Bush 2, I remember both my parents discussing how it’s gonna lead to a dumber society within a decade or two, in a “Our nursing home is gonna be run by morons LOL” kind of way. I was waaaay too young to actually understand what they were talking about, but damn were they right.

        Or an equitable economic system. Poverty and inequality breed desperation and support for extremism, partnered with no functional education system it’s the base for every authoritarian regime, ever.

          No economic system is immune to flowing money to the top. We need strong education, “economic morals”, to stay strong. No slogans, no, “My system is better!” Education.

          We already have a wealth of history to draw on, see what has worked and what has failed.
