#2 ..Stockholm Syndrome explains why most of the students who manage to graduate from a curricula parrot what they need to in order to get "good" grades. Parroting leads to internalization of the belief, and the cycle continues.

My empirical experience of late is that the elective "courses" available from our centralized education system, with rare exception, is a foundry of useless and cancerous groupthink..

#3 American educational system has been spinning out of control for decades - education is old school it isn't hip to be aware and a critical thinker, nah, you got to feel not think, accept the injustice mime of race, surrender yourself to gaia religion.

Look at the red dot and repeat after me

I am a servant, a follower of gaia, we are all brothers and sisters and I feel your pain.

#6 Too much of the professional educational establishment is caught up in their own lies. They claimed to be the 'professionals' and the only way to achieve knowledge and skills was through their tutelage. They thus acquired an inordinate amount of local and state tax revenues. However, as we all are witnesses to, they've fallen short on delivery of the quality they promised (you can keep your...). Some how back in the 60s, before tests and standards were dumb downed (as in yesterday's High School graduate diploma is today's BA), many kids did better. One of the key factors is the home. If the 'parents' don't give a care about education, then the kid generally won't succeed in the attainment of knowledge and skills. Given that there's nothing the 'professionals' can really do about reversing that big influence, they instead go for the soft and politically correct agenda over the basics. They've got to justify getting all those resources generated by all those people paying taxes, coerced by the power of government. Got to keep the game going. Throw in the dues-donation dependency between the unions and one political party, what's surprising? It's a racket. Farming the rubes.
