The people who really run the modern American Republican party (the obscenely wealthy,) and other hard right parties all over the world, want this. An illiterate, ignorant populace will believe whatever they’re told. It’s been that way since the dawn of time. Peasants in medieval Europe were forbidden to learn reading and writing for a reason. All the learnin’ they needed was from The Church, which taught that you were exactly where God wanted you to be to serve your God chosen betters. You’ll be rewarded after you’re dead. Now shovel that shit.
Everyday the movie Idiocracy gets more prophetic.

If only they had enough human decency to end up with a society as good as Idiocracy.
