What is a proper education? A Classical Education? How many people are going to voluntarily start learning Latin, Greek and Hebrew, along with Formal Syllogistic Logic, Rhetoric, and geometry/math? How many people are going to start reading Plato's Republic or Aristotle's Politics, or even as far back as the Enlightenment; Madison and Steele, the Spectator, Montaigne, Voltaire, or Diderot? Nobody cares anymore. No one can read anymore. I guarantee less than 10% of adults could explain the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence, or give an historical overview of the period in which it was written, and the ideas that brought it to being.
If people wanted a proper education, there are ways. I think self education is better than suicide by riot.
Our past has been purposefully forgotten. If you don't teach logic, reasoning, and context along with the skills for critical analysis you can manipulate the masses.
If you want to know if you are progressing in the right direction for a society: ask yourself if humans would survive and reproduce more if you make those changes. Everything is vestigial for the goal of surviving and reproducing.
We are currently is the winter and at a cusp of a technological revolution. This is the first war of its type: an information war. A digital war between Liberals (those who wish to preserve liberty) and woke-a-tariens (those who wish to conserve society as it was under Obama)
