educational child abuse

[Advocate]

There aren't many people who would disagree that children should be given Some form of education, but what capacity (not right) does the state have to provide it? How much education is core material that everyone ought to understand to be part of society? Are those the topics schools even teach? How many parents aren't capable of providing their children with a meaningful education? How much is society harmed when some people remain illiterate?

How much is society harmed when some people remain illiterate?

It doesn't seem to inhibit those who want to run for public office or those who vote for them.
