    That’s the thing though. Less education and more police is exactly what these people want. They don’t want well-educated poor people. Because well-educated poor people don’t vote the way they want them to. They know their rights and they have the intelligence to make informed decisions. And this is terrifying to the elite class in our society. Educated peasants are the most dangerous thing to a feudal land owning group.
