Sorry to say this but if the population is so easily brainwashed then maybe they can't be trusted with gun ownership.
Why are they so brainwashed though? Because the government doesn't help with education? 🤷♂️ (Serious question.)
Public education in the US is a system of propaganda-loaded indoctrination designed to stifle critical thinking.
Child of two public educators. I’m going to disagree to an extent. There are radical teachers. They push back against standards based education because they see how it pushes an agenda from the top, rather than cater needs to the local community and individual students. There’s a lot more of these teacher than you think, and they are honestly heroes. It is thankless, low paying, emotionally and physically draining work. Like I can understand the ways they kind of messed up raising me when I think about the hundreds, maybe thousands, of other kids lives they improved, and in some cases saved.
