I think the major reason for the disaster that is our public education policy is that the politicians all figured out that a well educated, well read and intelligent population would demand real answers and real solutions from people eager to just kick the cans down the road. No politician wants 100% of the real voters knowledgeable about the Constitution and all of its amendments and none of them want educated people who know damned well that face masks do not stop a virus and never will and that social distancing your away from catching a disease is about as stupid as it gets.
What they lost sight of about 80 years ago was that the same ignorant dumb morons they permit to become public teachers also took over the Unions and the policy maker positions at every level in the Education Departments and that they then took over the Private and Parochial Schools that were once used by the rich and the professionals to educate their own children. Without that last bastion of smart students and educated adults, things started to come apart faster and faster. Now you have people who cannot find South Dakota on a map, know what language they speak in China and cannot tell you the square root of 9.
Most of the tiny handful that persist in the ability to do these things end up as....middle managers working for policy idiots from the main stream. In a country that doesn't honor merit there is no natural rise to the top for the smart and well educated. You get DIE morons at every level and especially at the top because they owned the HR system before you thought about how much damage they could do there and you let them.
Well, not you gentle reader, I'm talking about the people that were running things into the ground. Did you ever think that even in this moment of time a leading Bishop of the Episcopal Church in America would express both his contempt and disdain for the very idea of helping white refugees? Did they learn nothing at all from the DIE FEMA morons that were deliberately bypassing homes in Western Carolina that gave away their political leanings by having the nerve to fly an American flag over the flood and wind ravaged ruins of their homes? I guess not.
Sadly, I think every single mainline Christian church in America is aligned with the Episcopal jerks on this topic. The only hope out there now is the Evangelicals.

Cannot/will not discuss any church or its leanings; I am not a Christian.
I will say that nearly all of synagogues with the exception of the ultra-orthodox have moved very far left employing the highly questionable rubric of tikkun olam ("repairing of the world").
It sorta reminds me of the Austrian/German Jews of the '30s who rallied around Hitler: fearful, but docile sheep following the Judas goat
" Now you have people who cannot find South Dakota on a map, know what language they speak in China and cannot tell you the square root of 9." Hell, I can get two out of three...and the second question is a trick question. They speak gibberish! The Chinese are like cue balls...hit them hard enough, and they develop english....Trust me on this.
