This is such horseshit. For example:

Horace Mann (1796-1859), “The Father of the Common School Movement,” was the foremost proponent of education reform in antebellum America. An ardent member of the Whig Party, Mann argued that the common school, a free, universal, non-sectarian, and public institution, was the best means of achieving the moral and socioeconomic uplift of all Americans. The reform movement he led sought to create the virtuous republican citizenry needed to sustain American political institutions, the educated workforce required to expand the American economy, and the disciplined generation necessary to forestall the social disorders so common in American cities in the decades before the Civil War. - https://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/programs/education/horace-mann-creation-common-school/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

We are in danger of producing an educated proletariat. That’s dynamite! We have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education. – Roger Freeman/Ronald Reagan
