    Education is not a good defense when you weren’t given any different education than the rest. And it seems like an ideology that they choose even among those more educated and wealthier. This whole only poor uneducated fall for lies is misleading and passes off personal responsibility.

    They are the ones who chose despite others not doing so. And even the worst people are capable of moments of kindness, but it doesn’t change who they are at their core and what they choose to believe when they don’t have to selectively filter themselves.

    And feel bad for them all you want. It doesn’t change that people around the world are suffering because of their decisions that empowered the people in charge, since they believed they would be the exception.

      Education systems across America are very different. Poor (including rural) districts have a very hard time getting decent funding and, therefore, good teachers.

      I was fortunate to have a decent public education and parents who trusted the teachers. This is not the case across the board.

        I just see excuses being made for grown up who are too old to be given the benefit of the doubt like they are toddlers.
