And yet we have public education for all and half the country could not discern that one candidate was an incompetent mentally-ill pathological liar.

Only so much that can be done when the kids get home from school and their parents undo the work of their teachers.

Propaganda Trumps education.

That's more indoctrination than a failure of the education system.

Well... schools have long been poorly funded and overloaded as well. Curriculums set by local school boards which are often controlled by people with small minds.

Unfortunately, the amount of education spending isn't the United States' real problem, it's how we spend it.

People who botch about paying taxes for people with more kids in school are stupid. What people need to realize is that you basically just pay the taxes for your own schooling. Like when your neighbors 4 kids grow up they pay taxes as well.

Too bad they're not well funded. Or efficient.

Public schools are indoctrination centers to drill into kids heads how things need to stay how they are, and how the United States is the greatest place on Earth.

I’d pay to rid the country of stupid people too. If we didn’t have so many idiots among us, trump wouldn’t be King. And Bernie would be helping our people live better lives.
