The Evolution of Education in America

In the 16th, 17th and 18th Century the populace was illiterate, basically ZERO tax dollars were being expended on education and the majority of America’s populace remained illiterate and uneducated.

Starting in the late 18th and continuing up thru the mid 20th Century (1960’s), expenditures of tax dollars on education increased steadily and consistently, driven by the “wants n’ needs” of the ever increasing student population and thus the majority of America’s student population was being educated.

But then in the late 20th Century (1970’s) and continuing up into the 21st Century of today, expenditures of tax dollars on education increased exponentially, driven by the “wants, needs n’ greed” of the Educators themselves and thus the majority of America’s student population is now being miseducated.

Thus, the evolution of education in America has resulted in an uneducated populace …….. becoming an educated populace, ……. and now becoming a miseducated populace, ……… which will surely result in the populace becoming illiterate and uneducated once again.

It is a whole lot easier and less expensive to educate the uneducated and illiterates ……. than it is to attempt any re-education of the miseducated.

And that is because the miseducated are absolutely sure of the fact that they know a whole lot better and much, much more than does any educated person.
