#1  I remember back in the 1970's when Pol Pot and his thugs were running Cambodia, one of the things they did was murder all the professors and other intellectuals and educated people. Dictators understand that education of the people is their most dangerous enemy.
When you look at what is going on in our school system these days with that as your perspective, it makes a lot more sense.
