He’s not wrong. The more educated people are, the less likely they are to fall into extremism. I mean there are obviously exceptions but by and large groups like Al Qaeda and Daesh target people who are uneducated, desperate, and easily manipulated to fill out their rank and file. That’s why in many countries their first targets are often schools and other places of learning and why quite often when they’ve destroyed that infrastructure they replace it with their own warped education system.

That is not happening today in many cases in many American schools.
