EDIT: A lot of you are reading into the tweet while still somehow agreeing with the overall message. No one is saying we should eliminate music programs or that we should teach toddlers about healthcare plans. The tweet is making this thing called a --checks notes-- joke, that also conveys the message that schools could teach more practical skills that young adults will need going forward.

Did you guys not have at least basic lessons about how your country works? And were they from the same teacher who did primary school music lessons?

We have classes that teach how the government works, although they're usually taught by football coaches who would rather teach PE.

We did, and no they weren't. But a lot of people don't pay attention in school, and don't remember what they're taught.
