> It's not an education problem. It's an ideology problem. Ideology is formed via education

• jgwil2 5y ago
  I think the OP was asking if it's an education problem as in, do people just not understand what a vaccine is or how it works? But that's not the issue really. The information is out there; people are just choosing to ignore it or cling to "alternative facts" for some as yet poorly understood reason.

    Because critical thinking skills are severely lacking due to - you guessed it, poor education.

      I think it's more complicated than that.

  I’d argue that ideology is what fills in the voids that education hasn’t already reached. It’s like some kind of spray-foam that takes up whatever space that hasn’t yet been filled with educated thought.

    The line between ("good") education and ("bad") ideology is not nearly this clear. Religions run schools for a reason. Canada started Residential Schools, and China started vocational training in Xinjiang, all for the same reason. You can call it continuing the culture, or passing on the traditions, or inculcating values, or working for progress, or social change, or cultural genocide, depending on your bent. It's the war for minds. And young minds are impressionable.

  Another way of putting this is that schools are organs of ideological reproduction.
