Why do these kids think that
government is somehow "responsible for their actions" when the kids are not ("as human beings")? This mindset indicates a stunning lack of coherent thinking. Either the kids think that "government" is some kind of Oz-like being not consisting of a political class of human beings just like them or they believe that the political class is somehow blessed with moral capabilities they are not. How did they come to "think" this way?
I just call it
I just call it indoctrination.
This is the way forward for our nation.
The tricky thing is or the potential trap is already in front for everyone to see, well maybe not everyone but think of it this way. The poorer you are the poorer you get, the better this place will be because it would be easily managed by those imposing such dogmas. Modern day pick pockets, fighting for crumbs...while the real causes of our suffering are left unsaid, un-scene all in the name of a "greater good"...a collective good.
I've always pictured this whole political parade as a huge machine, a good machine one with good intentions and of high character that just can't see in front of it, too big too brake or slow down.
They, and their parents too, have been

To be goo and excel one obeys the rules without resistance; then you are rewarded by the all-wise, beneficent system which promises success in life. Gold stars in school are to be replaced by real rewards such as free healthcare, safety nets for the weak, smooth sailing with as little thought or effort from adults as from the "good" (obedient)kids in school.
The BIG problem i see is in
The BIG problem i see is in today's world is that the obstacles that are thrown to you are not of an invisible hand but of an overwhelming reach of people and or groups that have a specific interest in your lives.
Born poor, born hungry. Can you explain something like that to a "weak" person. I think not as i do believe that these are life's blowbacks, an unintended consequence of good will in the hands of vile people.
Answered in the video.
Public schools.
But traditionally public schools are funded locally (property taxes), not by Washington.
They should teach school budgets in public schools, including how much goes to paying teacher pensions.
