“This just goes to show how far our education has been dumbed down. “
In researching the novel I recently wrote, I learned a lot about education in the 1800’s. First it was valued above anything for those who could afford it. I have volumes of documents, letters, written by Cherokee ancestors from the early 1800’s, all the way through. They had to fight hard to be educated and they were better educated than most students of today. One day perhaps, we will get back to the idea of education being valuable.
There is less control over educated people but the uneducated are easy to manipulate by their emotions and propaganda.
Their success in achieving their goal was illustrated this November.
