Schools have become the place for students to rebel and fight the “system”.
Never mind that this country's education system is already tailor-made to spread misinformation, entrench mythologies, and promote American exceptionalism to our young children. American history, as taught in schools, is generally nonsense meant to instill and preserve a sense of City-on-a-Hill nationalism, along with healthy doses of tall-tale founding myths, gung-ho militarism, and ethnic cleansing justification in the form of righteous Manifest Destiny. As James W. Loewen explains in his 1995 book Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong, textbooks used to teach our children "leave out anything that might reflect badly upon our national character."
Who's Really Brainwashing Our Children
“Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.” ~ Joseph Stalin
"I begin with the young." ~ Adolf Hitler
"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future." ~ Adolf Hitler
"...the academic meltdown in our public education system is intentional. It asserts that change agents have been working at the Education Department to change curriculum, not to improve teaching but to promote a socialist agenda. Their role is to create schools which will mold obedient citizens who no longer have the knowledge and skills to improve their lot in life, but are dependent on government/multi-national companies' guidance to survive. The system will create imprisoned citizens that will be managed from cradle to grave to serve the needs of the state's managed economy."
Deliberate Dumbing Down of America
As another man without a high school diploma, I discovered many years ago that the "educated" class is generally not educated at all, it is mis-educated. The whole purpose of American (perhaps all "western") "higher education" is obviously to bring minds into lock step with "The Agenda." As a general rule, the less official American education a person has been exposed to, the greater his/her ration of common sense.
"Education" is Spiritual Suicide
Only when all children in public, private and home schools are robotized-and believe as one-will World Government be acceptable to citizens and able to be implemented without firing a shot. The attractive-sounding "choice" proposals will enable the globalist elite to achieve their goal: the robotization (brainwashing) of all Americans in order to gain their acceptance of lifelong education and workforce training-part of the world management system to achieve a new global feudalism.
A 100 yr. Silent War on Education

Feels depressing, sounds true. Thanks so much for your insight and your passion.
But, IMHO, each of those categories can be further condensed down to one root cause - The dissolution of the family.
Families are under attack in the modern era. What is a family? Who is a family? What is quality family time? What are "family" values? Those and many other questions about family have been redefined to a nonsensical, dysfunctional, overly PC and, quite frankly, dangerous degree.
The troubled state of education is but a symptom of all of that.
Mankind has successfully evolved over the millenia in large part because of the strong cultural foundation of family. Now, suddenly, in the modern era we have the arrogance and audacity to decide that it doesn't really matter. And our children are paying the price for it.
