          Oh damn. Indian politicians are also very uneducated but they don’t usually go against education

          Funny thing: in early years of Russian Federation “red state” meant southern pro-communism pro-education/healthcare/pension/science funding state.

        Around 40% of Indian politicians are only educated up to school (stat might have changed), and the ruling party is quite dystopian in silencing narratives that go against it.

          Sorry, but what does “up to school” mean? (I am American, and many of our education groups are schools.) Is that school prior to college, ending near age 18, or something else?

          Edit: thank you, I now understand

          I would guess that most republicans politicians are actually pretty highly educated. Trump even went to ivy league schools. They value it, just not for their voters.

            Not really. They use Ivy League schools more for making connections with other wealthy people and getting jobs through those connections than actually learning anything.
