i wouldnt say it was a 'education state' id say it is more of a influencer state we are seeing more prevalent in the last couple decades

more kids 'learn' from influencers. whether it be a teacher, or their parents or even TV/media
kids are influenced to act a certain way by what they have observed by influencers.

even things like what the president of a country does influences people. there are the idiot community that believe trumps words even when he is being an idiot they patriotically follow him like drones

then there is the social media influencers that make kids think they deserve to be famous without putting in any hard work (millenials).

then there is the news medis influencers that make the poor feel like they should remain stuck in their situations an not better themselves by pushing the stereotypes.
yep black slaver ended many decades ago. but media push the 'black lives matter' as if its still the 1800-1950's of segregation..
