A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

    America is still slightly ahead of Russia there, due to the legacy of the USSR. Not that Russia's billionaires aren't doing their best to privatize education and keep it out of reach of the peasantry since the fall of communism.

    Yeah, and a lot of the 56% college grad rate is boomers who were educated before the fall and are now dying off. We will see it drop precipitously in the next 20 years or so, and the quality of the education of the newly graduated decline.
