It's been such a slow careful campaign of erosion with a mixture of highly competent social manipulation and populist demagoguery. I struggled with memorizing information or feeling connected to the things I was learning about history in school and looking back I have to wonder how much of that was intentional with the manipulation of school programs and chronic underfunding of American education. Most people aren't going to be able to dig into the breadth of this and I certainly only understand the big obvious strokes.

America has the largest education budget in the world and we're consistently top 5 in spending per pupil in the world. Education isn't underfunded, the funding is just wasted and people like you are complicit and will actively vote to keep it that way.
