It is endemic in the US, especially with the latest generations, that Uncle Sam is NUMBER-ONE and nothing bad could/should happen as regards Education. Which is probably the most important factor in our upbringing.
Which has also become also a sickness in the US and here's why: We have diminished the learning of what is Democracy and how it functions in America.
A long, long time ago (in secondary-school education) I took a course that in a small number of months explained how democracy works in America. There was no mention whatsoever of how only two parties determine who runs the country. Which has become a highly singular attribute in American politics. But, so be it.
From here: An Overview of the Funding of Public Schools
Only eight-percent of total funding comes from national-resources. (Namely, the Dept. of Education in Washington).
And I suggest that is the problem. Funding assures the quality of what is taught and for any subject as important as national/state governance it should be taught from prepared programs of education. Yes, even kindergarten should have a teaching-program, as simple as it might be. Moreover, there must be a policing of the subject matter at all levels of schooling.
And to get that information, go here: Everything You Need to Know About The American Curriculum
Otherwise, what you get in secondary-school education is the political-bullshat that infests many political-exchanges employed nowadays (to "win" an election). We-the-sheeple must know how the country/state/town are run technically (not politically) and that should be taught in high-school everywhere in the same manner ...
Education (and how it is managed) must become the primary-interest of all families as regards their children up to and including high-schooling ...
