What thing? Adding the current leadership 'works' to curriculum? From my education since the 90s it's always the case. No students ever take these 'social political conscience' courses seriously. Most regard them as a joke and a scoring tool to join the party (that is if that's advantageous to their undergraduate degree). At least what I know.

> Adding the current leadership 'works' to curriculum? From my education since the 90s it's always the case. I mean, when you put it that way education in the US was pretty much the same when I was in school. There was a lot of time spent showing how the checks and balances of the US government keep everything good and fair and totally not corrupt as fuck at all.

  Checks and balances is how a guy like Trump can't stay in the White House regardless of how much he whines about fraudulent elections. I'd say the US system works for the most part and isn't nearly as corrupt as Americans like to think.

    This time, and it feels like it only just barely worked. We'll see if we get as lucky in round 2.

      And the immediate passing of numerous voting laws are certainly uh... checks and balances

  For a start, do you have a better method? Let us know which country is "not totally corrupt" and why is it so? Checks and balances in any system reduces efficiency and places a lower limit on how bad things can get. On the topic of adding these to the curriculum, I'd say its a good thing, although most of these 12 Xi thoughts are pure platitudes.
