What you're saying sounds good and is one of the reasons for the creation of public schools. But it also creates an opening for government indoctrination.
Then there's the opposite problem, privatized indoctrination where billionaires like News Corp's Murdoch get to influence millions with his propaganda.
Then the internet was supposed to save us but it turns out people like living in their own indoctrination bubbles and the internet is more than happy to provide it for them.
