60% of the time, our pillaged, underfunded public education system works every time.

Also, on a serious note, it's against the capitalist's interests to have a well informed society capable of critical thinking and true understanding of how badly they're being fucked by big capital. An ignorant populace is a compliant, controllable, easy fo manipulate populace.

That's why the owners never send their kids to their livestock's schools that they spent years defunding into today's ruins. Well, that and they don't want their kids to inadvertently develop... barf...empathy or comradery with their future cattle herd.

In conjunction with this, I fully believe that Big Capital are the ones that are absolutely pushing the abortion bans, by proxy of "religion". Sure, there's niche groups that support it, but that money is coming from SIGNIFICANTLY RICH people pushing that shit through.

They want uneducated people. They absolutely want an uneducated labor class as people are cheap.
