This is all by intent. They don't want people educated. Educated people develop critical thinking skills even if they are regressive. They want you just smart enough to do your taxes and vote for whoever hates the best.

So we need alternative means of educating the public

They are the alternative. We can just go back to teaching kids with words and teaching them the truth. The truth isn't a varaible when it comes to past action and events. By words I mean spoken lessons and no tech other than a smart board. In truth they should go back to slate chalkboards. Tech makes the mind lazy.

Says the person using tech to communicate.

Yes. I know it is bad for young minds. They have no ability to find answers on their own. Of course simple minds can't see that.
