Big countries, at some point, stop working.
These divisions will never be healed without extensive funding to education, and we're all too busy falling over each other to comment how CEO's work hard for their money and how we really, REALLY need that piece of shit plastic thing from Costco right now.
Behavioral psychology, statistics and media-defense courses should be introduced and expanded upon starting in grade school. Until that happens the best we can do is yelling at each other and telling others they're wasting their vote unless they vote for one of two parties.
This election result is the best of both worlds. The Democrat's get a major kick in the cunt and the Republican's will not be able to contain their greed. All those poor fuckers who are making less than $300,000 a year in the US are gonna feel it in the next few years.
We get what we deserve.
The really sad part is that those parts of your idea for a much-needed change in curriculum are not really welcome anywhere in the first world for that matter.
The only chance a teacher or a staff has is to work together and more or less use those little grey areas in a lot of subjects to actively help the students to see behind the facade.
A change in educational programs or curricula is not likely to happen simply because education has to do with politics, at least in general - those in power would like to keep it that way. What an individual teacher and his colelagues do is a different matter though.
