A less educated population. Is that the goal?

@nonsensiclesnail I’m convinced it is for some. The last President publicly loved the under educated.

@JonLosAngeles66 the undereducated are easier to control.

@chrisCA maybe. Less educated doesn’t equate to gullible and foolish. But when you don’t have the right knowledge base you are easier to manipulate. If you don’t think for yourself you’ll believe what you’re told. Part of education is learning to think for yourself with a bigger database of knowledge to work from.
Still, Lots of educated folks are still idiots. Education doesn’t stop anyone from being a fool, being tricked. But it does far more good than hurt.
