    “Woefully uneducated”… that’s something else. Where I live, our schools are so badly underfunded it’s insane. I remember in high school, we had to read a bunch of Ayn Rand and I wondered why the fuck we had to do that. I mean, Orwell was bad enough but kinda made sense because he’s just always been on the reading list. Then I read the covers of the brand new Rand novels we got in spades, and they were all donated by the Ayn Rand Society.

    Libertarians rely on undercutting education and state restrictions on what can be taught in public schools, specifically so they flood the schools with their “charitable donations” of free propaganda. Started working in education and it’s even worse being on the other side of the school desk, lol.
