- noobermin 8y agoI think you might underestimate how much of American education inflates the idea of America as a land of opportunity for all. Even when it isn't stated explicitly, society and culture communicates that message.

The overt message constantly pounded in is that you can't get ahead by trying because everything is rigged (votes are bought, etc). So if that's what's stated in the school system, it's definitely not sinking in.
