    I don’t know a goddamn thing about Latin grammar, but it looks like you could follow the etymology of “education” more closely. The “educ” part is itself derived from “ex ducere”, so we could probably have “inducation”

      Y’all. Did you have your coffees this morning?

      There’s already an organically evolved etymologically rich word for the “passing of closed thinking”, that harkens back to “leading in” or Inducing…

      Indoctrination.

        Yeah, but the right only agree that indoctrination exists when it’s colleges indoctrinating people into free-thought which they call being woke. Say that word to them and they’ll be like “rubber, glue, you” because that’s about as many syllables as the average right-winger can muster, and about as intelligent a complete thought as I expect from them as well.

          I guarantee you they’ll feel the same way if you say ducerination or inducation. Words they don’t understand are inherently an attack, just like woke, which originally meant someone or something that was championing the rights of people in modern times

            Probably because so many people make fun of their education system

            Why be angry with the root cause of your problem when you have so many branches that look close enough to a root

              Which is the goal. Defund public education. Fund private education. Both for profit but also to ensure that only the wealthy can actually pay for a “good” education and keep up the class divide
