The problem with the American mass has never ever been the lack of "advanced math" or whatsoever. They're missing the point. It's the tremendous gap between elite education and "common" education, as well as the lack of very basic scientific common sense among the population. It's not required for people to possess outstanding advanced skills like a PhD, but when many get even some of the most basic facts wrong, and even believe the earth is 4000 years old for example, then there's a massive problem. Of course I know it's the elites among the upper echelons of the society who are more than happy to see and maintain such a situation, and unfortunately this article might well be another addition, a so-called academic/think-tank publication that serves their agenda. It can't get more obvious at the end of the article: "leave elite education to those who 'need' it! Keep the mass ignorant!" Yeah, sure, so that the children of the elites always stay powerful and the mass keep remaining ignorant. It doesn't matter for the massive power wielded by the US, the state terrorism employed by Uncle Sam, but it matters, a lot, for genuine empowerment of the people and true democracy, which people including the author here doubtlessly want to stop at all costs.
