Why the hell would you want children working overnight on school nights?
“Worst thing a fruit picker can learn is that they don’t have to be a fruit picker.” - Big Fruit
Even worse, that they’re the ones generating the money.
So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.
An Uneducated Labor Force also ensure those laborers can't compete for better positions, or demand better conditions.
However, they also result in the country slowly trending towards irrelevancy
In today's economies, everything is about high skill labour. It really is just cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Capitalism has no long-term goal. It's been literally making the planet inhabitable for humans since its birth.
They'd rather be lords of the shit heap than citazens of anything better.
And a fantastic, "ask no questions" kind of military force
Also they don't get taught critical thinking skills to understand why things are the way they are and easier to manipulate. That said my understanding of the general US education system is that it doesn't teach that (or much of it) anyways.
Easier to manipulate, yes.
The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.
That is irrelevant because they are also removing schooling for the children that will be taking those jobs.
~Supposed to be read somewhat /s but also not really /s because that is the plan~
Imagine the kids get smart and start thinking on their own as adults. They would no longer vote Rep. Imagine that!
It'll cause them to drop out and become permanent cheap labor that can be exploited due to not having a highschool diploma.
They already thought of that. The department of education has already been dismantled. If there are no school nights there's no problem, right?
Not just children. Anyone who isn’t rich, white, cis, straight, and Christian. If you’re not rich, then you must be a piece of shit, and you deserve nothing, not even the most basic human dignity (according to the 0.01%)

Why the hell would you want children working overnight ~~on school nights~~? FTFY

Private prison corpos have to get them some too
Florida does not care about education
So that only the children of rich parents can get a good education.
Haven't you heard? The DOE is dead. No more pesky school to get in the way of these children's productive hours! Ah, utopia at last.
These kids already have jobs, they dont even need school. The ones with rich parents will still learn how to fuck everyone else over in their private schools, dont worry.
