A viral clip from 2021 shows Donald Trump’s running mate hyping an antidemocratic plan once pushed in Hungary that would give people with children more voting power.
I don’t have kids, but I still want to have an educated populace who can have the fundamental reading, writing and calculation skills and can critically and logically think, which requires a well-funded education system with a curriculum that teaches kids the basic skills and how to critically think.
And besides if the general population can think critically, they would very quickly realize that more than just parents have a vested interest in the education of the next generation. Businesses and government are still going to need engineers, designers, researchers and a whole host of other jobs that require education and critical thinking. And last I checked people only live so long, so if all the old guard dies before we pass on that institutional knowledge to the next generations we’re shooting ourselves in the foot economically and societally.
