The right wing does not want an educated electorate. Why? Because the more educated the voter, the more likely he/she is to vote Democratic. Look at the election map. The "blue" states are the wealthiest and most educated in the nation. The "red" states are poor, under educated, unhealthy, and voting their "moral" beliefs of guns, abortion, gays, and God (GAGG).
After attacking the working class' right to collective bargain, the next step is to reduce the number of qualified teachers, increase tuition so that higher education is out of reach of what is left of the middle class, de-fund student loans, and privatize our public school system. A private for profit system will ensure that only the elite receive an education, and that there will be an endless supply of cheap, uneducated, hopeless workers that can be further abused by powerful corporate interests.
The working class in the country need to wake up to the realities and stop fighting amongst themselves. This is exactly what the uber rich are counting on. We need to get the corporate money out of our political system and elect representatives that will actually work FOR the people instead of corporate money.
