Ffffuck that's depressing.

I don't even have kids. I'm actually pretty against having them in general. But education is an existential requirement to a functioning democracy, and even a basic education is so broadening.

The only reason to want people ignorant is if you're trying to swindle them, which honestly benefits no one in the long run.

Not even democracy per se; it's a basic requirement for a society that functions at more than a medieval level.
