They are not going to tell you about this in school, and there are some very legit reasons why. I'm only going to mention few of them.
First of all compulsory schooling was put in the USA by a very well known banker. Please look it up, I don't want to get into that.
Compulsory schooling is not related to individual liberties, as it is compulsory.
Liberties are thus not taught is schools as that would turn students against it. They are brought up as names and celebrated but the essense of individual liberties is just not taught. Dinstict individual thoughts and perspectives and the right to have them are not seen as liberties.
Very important: it is propagated that the more one learns -and by that they mean 'parrots' in schools- the more intelligent one becomes. And that is utter rubbish. Students have little to no chance to evaluate and observe the actuality of what they are forced to parrot. They just have to do it for the good grades and to avoid being reprimanded.
Thus they are liable to become less intelligent and more convinced they are intelligent.
A common way to test intelligence is the ability to understand differences. That is also found in IQ tests.
For a least intelligent person everything is the same. A very intelligent person can tell differences between objects, times and places.
Thus the notion that all men, women, humans or humans of some particular sort are the same, shows very low intelligence.
For a very stupid person there are no individual humans with individual viewpoints and individual will, there is only 'humanity'. It is all a mass. We are all the same.
Thus such a person is liable to accuse a man because 'all men are rapists', or a woman because 'they're all gold diggers', or a citizen of some country because of his goverment's misdeeds.
Since they can't tell differences between individuals they become part of humanity's mass themselves. They lose their individual perspective and will. They become unable to act on a self-determined basis and need pampering and guidance. They also go on repeating what they're told by particular sources (and might I add, that way they are used as soldiers for political and other ends).
Guess who is happy about that?
Note: I am not asserting schooling is the sole reason for this phenomenon. Nor am I asserting all that have been schooled are like that (who hasn't?). I am boldly asserting schooling offers little education (at least untill somebody gets to pick what he wants to study) and in the name of education plenty of braiwashing. And that is done on purpose. I am going to write more about the differences of those two another time. Unlike others... I'm not going to write about how brainwashing is information that I don't like. I considered it fair to bring up schooling as up untill now only religions have had blame put on them for inciting conflicts and causing stupidity. True ir not, that's just scapegoating.

I agree. It becomes obvious in the press and gossip magazines.
I also brought up some people but not to belittle them. I bring up practices to undo them. I've been schooled too. :)
