32. The problem goes back over 100 years to the robber barons of the 1800s
The robber barons were concerned about the rising level of education in the population because it was starting to breed resistance against corporate governance; the workers were becoming too activist and too militant, and they kept thinking too much and asking too many questions, so they began to co-opt the educational system in regions where they had the most power. Education was no longer about creating well-rounded, thoughtful citizens; it became nothing more than job training.
