    Bingo. A properly funded and functional public education system, that teaches real critical thinking and let’s include media literacy while we’re at it.

      Not saying that they were right, because they were wrong, but this was actually a presented logical reason why voting was restricted to male landowners at one point. They were the only part of the population that received a formal education. Regardless of motivation this became a method of oppression.

      To be clear, I agree that public education is a key to a strong democracy, as is removing restrictions on voting.
