The education system failing people is part of the issue. Why would you want people to have critical reasoning skills if you want to control their behavior thro

  Looking at the agenda of the party currently in charge, the system isn't failing people. It's performing as intended. When you do not want the masses to be educated, you defund those that are in charge of educating to the point it has no other outcome than to come to a grinding halt. As intended. After all, the numbers stop going up when you stop counting. I'm often reminded of a conversation my arrogant younger self had with an Englishman I was having a bit of back and forth banter about Yanks vs the sun setting on the English empire. I asked if the Empire was so great, why did all of the colonies end up revolting? His answer was simply, "we taught them how to read." Once the masses can read and think for themselves in an educated manner, they tend to no longer put up with being trodden over for much longer. So the answer is clearly simple to stop educating the masses.
