“Today’s episode argues that the decline of public education in the U.S. is a deliberate strategy by the ruling class to maintain social hierarchies and control the working class. It contends that policies leading to declining literacy and STEM skills are intentional, not failures, aimed at creating a less informed populace incapable of questioning their economic station. The author of the source article, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, draws on historical examples of nations that successfully educated their populations and critiques the profit-driven motives behind current ‘reforms,’ suggesting that corporate interests benefit from a weakened public education system, ultimately serving to disarm the working class intellectually and economically.”
