Feynman said something that might apply to the politics of education
He said:

"Philosophers say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for science, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong."


Change two words and we have the truth about what is going on:

"Politicians say a great deal about what is absolutely necessary for education, and it is always, so far as one can see, rather naive, and probably wrong."
