Theory meets reality - you do have a point. However, if the issue is an informed electorate electing wise men of character to operate government, we must first take over the schools and assure that we meet both of the “Two Essentials of All Human Societies”.
Those are:
1. Raise and acculturate the next generation.
2. Pass on the territory to that next generation in a livable condition.
Failure of either results in extinction of that society.
So - slap a Pooblik Skool Edumacator today - Do it For The Chilrun!
Can’t argue with that.
