During George Washington's farewell address he spoke about the need for education in a democracy. He said,
"Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge. In proportion as the structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened."In other words, in order for a government "of the people, by the people, for the people" to succeed - it ought to in the very least be an informed people.
The people in this video are really upset about something, but I'm confused at exactly what it is.
