If people learn to reason and think (not that education necessarily teaches those skills these days), they will ask questions. Scientists may also prove an enormous problem as they discuss such topics as global warming (which, as the Right insists, is a fraudulent hoax). The Trumpistas, who seek to Make America Gangrenous Always, try to provoke antagonism toward anyone with an education, whom they deem the "elites." [Somehow, the billionaire criminals as all portrayed as "average Joes"!]

At the end of the day, education will ultimately inspire people to protest against the exploitative oligarchy and those who abuse the system. Much of the opposition to the VIetnam War was spawned on college campuses; hence, Nixon's hatred for those "professor" types.

I still cannot understand all the venom heaped at those "Ivy League elites." After all, Trump's degree is from Wharton (part of the University of Pennsylvania), and Vance's law degree is from Yale. Aren't these Ivy Leaguers also part of the "elite"?

I'm sure J.D. learned his wisdom at the foot of Thiel who believes everyone should be slaves to him. I'm sure they are both well aware that education and slavery are not a good fit (at least not in America.

Now Rome didn't see it that way and many of the educated were educated by slaves.

J.D., himself is an educated slave of Thiel, who has promoted him to be Ludi magister to America. What many are missing is that as our Ludi magister it is important to teach us we shouldn't be taught because if we are, then we might realize our very unlearned our wise Furhrer is and we might recognize Thiel only wants to have slaves because he never learned how to tie his shoes and needs someone to do it for him.

So please let's try to understand why it is so very important Americans remain ignorant. I think there is even a plan afoot to remove those that might have some kind of education beyond sixth grade.
