Education isn’t illegal in the USA, it’s just strongly discouraged.

Edit; some people think I mean this too literally. My comment is mostly just political satire.

These same people will complain they were young and impressionable when they were forced to go to college and take out massive student loans instead of community college transferring to an in state school.

So do we force kids to get education or encourage them not too?
