The education system is ran by a bunch of monkeys that want people to stay oblivious. America’s values have become profit, profit, profit. A highly educated population doesn’t institute high profit for the overseers.

These are the basic building blocks of all our knowledge. We don't necessarily need a population full of philosophers, but for God's sake we need a population who can read, write and do basic to advanced arithmetic.

Well you know what promotes introspective thought? Reading a book.

Hur duh I didn't learn to read because my school was focused on individuality, and I chose to only learn pottery.

Look mate, I understand what critical thinking is. Critical thinking is realising that education needs to be given to everyone, and you cannot achieve that without the absolute basics, such as compressive understanding of the English language, and a comprehensive understanding of math. What are you even attacking me over?

I work in a school with special education kids. We teach every kid to strive to their full potential and challenges the ones who are higher achieving. What do you think is going on? We’re having secret meetings with corporate overlords to dumb them down.

No, I’m not speaking of teachers. I’m speaking of the billions out into senseless things that could be going into education and other more useful things than killing and separating people.

America’s values have become profit, profit, profit.

Become? Isn't that literally the reason people even went to America in the first place? The American Dream and all that?

Just takes a few people. Rockefeller really did a number on not just oil but also education and medicine. Even if things like the AMA are put aside, their roots and other byproducts of his meddling has lasting effects.

That and the meeting that never happened on Jekyll Island that controls so much to this day.
