This is precisely why it's every government's top priority to cripple the education system. Or if it's already crippled - either cripple it further or just keep it as is, depending on the circumstances.

Personally I live in the EU, so it's not nearly as bad for me as it is for Americans. However, even in Europe most politicians and their parties get elected simply because people don't know better and follow whatever their preferred TV station says.

A lot of Europeans also have difficulties separating personal feelings from politics. You criticize one politician and suddenly everyone is mad, because that means you must be a devoted supporter of their opponent. Sometimes it feels like everyone is brainwashed, because they can only do 'white' or 'black', as if there were no other shades in between.
