Is There Value in an Educated Populace?

This theme, that education is indoctrination and is actually harmful to our personhood, is extremely popular now, but largely among our nation’s uneducated people. This could be called “sour grapes,” but some (uneducated) people won’t know what this means.

We’re so screwed.

Supporting the idea that education kills our capacity for creativity and critical thinking has great appeal to many Americans as our society dwindles down into Trumpism, but what are the consequences?  A few ideas include our American kids who:

Can’t tell you where Minnesota or France is, and can barely read and write.

Will never achieve any real wealth and will certainly never take any place in our knowledge-based world.

Will be fantastic candidates to support Trump, or, perhaps, the even greater bastard who comes next.
