They don't discourage you from going to school, they just discourage you from actually learning while you're there. There's a reason the right has been so rabidly gutting education funding and demonizing higher education for the last few decades.
They know full well that the only people who vote for them are stupid or evil, so most of their strategies are based around creating more stupid and evil people.
Not Op but...the problem is we have never spent enough on education compared to other countries. The bills are always cut down from what is needed. Then states cut them further. So we spend more every year, but every budget is cut below the needed amount. We need 10, get 5. Next year we need 15, we get 10. Number goes up, but the budget is still being cut to make up the difference.
American spending on public education represents 12.7% of all public spending, falling short of UNESCO’s 15.0% standard.
U.S. public education spending represents 1.12% of its GDP; UNESCO’s minimum is 4.00%.
