True. Combine that a lack of learning critical thinking skills, how to weigh risk/benefit analysis for decisions, learn to research and be confident in discussion of issues, etc,ie. discernment, has left us with a mass of people who find it easy to simply be told what to do and happy to go along to get along. I'm reminded of a quote from Marcus Aurelius on the object of life that was posted here:
"The object of life is not to be on
the side of the majority,
but to escape finding oneself in the
ranks of the insane."
Replacing education with malicious propaganda will do that to a population.
I wish I could updoot this 100 times.
