“Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think” - Albert Einstein

I completely agree with you but with a caveat. A lot of college education these days is the memorization of facts. Memorizing facts is another form of propaganda.

I think that education should train people to critically think for themselves. This I think is the core basis of democracy. Without this core, democracy stops working as intended.
