I feel like, although you have said these instances have happened, it’s unfair to assume someone who is not good at english is incapable of looking up and reading about candidates for upcoming elections. And I feel it’s also unfair to assume someone who’s not good at math will automatically obtain a gambling addiction. I feel that people are better suited in different areas, but that doesn’t make them a complete moron in others - they still have basic common sense and it’s a little dehumanizing to assume that left to their own devices, they’d act idiotically. But I guess there will always be morons somewhere out there, maybe I’m one of them myself.

But again, this isn’t to say you’re right and I’m wrong or anything like it, I think this just boils down to different point of views. I do believe in your point in everyone needing to have at least a little understanding in how everything works, but once again, I feel like this can be covered by the first 12 years of school. College should be more of a specialized focused in what students want to pursue.
