Thank you for reading The Standard newspaper online!

We must educate ourselves to be balanced

Dear Editor,

Elections today pit high school grads (Republicans) against college grads (Democrats). Democracy historically needs the more educated class to win.

High schoolers are winning for two reasons: there are more of them and politicians can manipulate them more easily than college grads.

However, college grads have become a lot like high school grads. When they get out of school they stop learning and dedicate their lives to one goal and one goal only — making a ton of money the rest of their lives.

In a true republic, all citizens must be devoted to life-long learning to avoid being oppressed by bad people. College grads are not taught this and so are ultimately as big a part of the problem as high schoolers.

We must read serious books and once again regulate money and power if we hope to live balanced, happy lives.
