I tend to think there are those who want to manipulate through education, and those who want to manipulate through a lack of it. Where conservatives screwed up is they decided to ignore education (probably for manipulative reasons).
Educations an interesting subject though, because typically historically education is in and of itself nothing but a system for the elites to get the labor they need or want for their systems (left or right is irrelevant here). If society needed farmers, blacksmiths, loggers, whatever than the ‘education’ was to hand down knowledge on how to do those things. As technology has progressed and a need for engineers came education has focused on the skills for engineers. Its really just a system to give society skilled workers for the ‘elites’ to profit off of. Its why they have different levels of higher education too, and the schools like Oxford or the Ivy League schools are pretty much either for the financially elite, or the exceptionally gifted. Im thankful we live in a time with as much education and information that we have.
