“Stopping Trump is a short-term solution. The long-term solution, and it will be more difficult, is fixing the educational system that has created so many people ignorant enough to vote for Trump.” - Andy Borowitz wrote those words in 2016. #education
The American education system is far below standard of the rest of the world, clearly….
Going to take several generations to purge the effects of the fascist republicans Don’t vote for a republican for sny office
I couldn’t agree more. The degree of ignorance in the US is a root cause of MAGA extremism and why Trump loves the uneducated.
Trump really wants to laud that "ignorance is power", like the Ministry of Truth.
Many Red States WANT it that way
You all need to remember the Bush legacy of "No child left behind " this timeline tracks.
The dictator can't read 😱
School supply’s for USA students. Bullet proof vest Hand gun Gas mask Lunch box Cell phone Bible Knee pads for prayers Paper and pencils to write their last wishes
I never realized what an advantage it is for Donald to have the vocabulary of a third grader.
Don't blame Biden - he left Trump with a solid economy - the lowest unemployment in over 50 years & a stable country with strong allies - he wasn't sending federal troops & masked ICE terrorists after us - you people were stupid & you were warned AND it is likely he did NOT win the election
If you can't read you can't think - no critical analysis skills - American illiteracy is by GOP design, GOP 'no child left behind' & more keeping us stupid read to your kids -go to libraries & museums while we have them & demand our schools stress high levels of literacy LITERACY IS RESISTANCE
And the Republicans want to keep them stupid and uneducated. That way, they can manipulate.
They do love the uneducated.
It's not about a lack of education. It's about an unwillingness to change.
A person can be illiterate or only functionally literate and still show deep empathy and compassion. Reading levels don’t define the depth of someone’s humanity, and that’s a far more important issue.
Long time
Quick shoot that trash it’s getting g away!
Because they look like the same...

Not just the educational system- we must fix media - the people doing the messaging that people hear after schooling ends. The line between entertainment and facts news to be redrawn. Looking at you Fox “news” and “ legacy” media.
My wife is a teacher and I hear about it every day. Trust me it’ll be easier just to start our own country.
True, all true.
The republican party has spent 50 years sabotaging the education system for exactly this reason.
The real solution is we need to redistribute wealth. Billionaires control almost all the levers of power.
The ignorant are easily manipulated. Dunning-Kruger effect.
Educating future citizens must be a full-time job of democracies, choice between survival of minimum freedom or death in fascist hell
As an award winning urban teacher of 36 years, I couldn’t agree more. Our US educational system is designed to keep people in their place!!
It’s not the schools. It’s the parents that don’t ensure their kids stay in school, do their assignments and encourage kids to learn.
