16. I can't help but feel
impairment of the educational system and the concomitant dumbing down of the electorate since approximately WWII has been deliberate. They WANT an under or un-educated electorate that either doesn't vote at all or is easily swayed by Fox-like propaganda. Old fashioned Civics courses, just as one example, are no longer taught for a reason. It's hard to know when your Constitutional rights are being usurped or taken away when you've never actually read or studied the Constitution.
