. . . It's well known that the US public education system has been systematically hindered from educating the population and the average literacy rate of American adults is of an 8th grade level. Chances are there are enough people that will blame Biden for all their woes even though those same economic realities apply worldwide.
The people who vote to hinder what teachers are allowed to teach are the same people who blame Biden for their children's failure to learn.I doubt Biden is being blamed for that, unless it's something that developed a year or so ago. I believe the blame is probably being placed with the oligarchy which they say want people to be as limited as possible. Just smart enough to do whatever vocational task that's required of them. George Carlin summed up that theory quite well.
The rest of us were being told that community colleges, vo-tech schools, union jobs, and the military were our best options.That's really the fight, isn't it? The powerful don't WANT true equality, or a population educated enough to realize they aren't being offered it. Politics creates messages that are nothing more than bait and switch, keep the eyes off the prize, get everyone fighting over the crumbs without seeing who has the cookie. Trying to teach children to actually think gets puts down as indoctrinating our children, and so on.
