The money was spent on educating them what the government wanted them to know, as opposed to what they deserve to know?

I'm shocked america is so high in spending considering how terrible our education system is unless you pay for it yourself. Wouldn't surprise me one bit that much of the spending is not actually on what we would expect. 🤷‍♂️
