*cough* Corruption.
A poor education system leads to a decline in the standard of living in most countries. eg. Dummies are more likely to get screwed by corporations, by their boss, by their government, by each other. Lack of education and a low quality culture leads to people knowing more about Lindsay Lohan than exploding government debt under BOTH George Bush and Obama.
Also the US has religion sticking it's ugly ass face into every aspect of society, in education you get those ass clowns in Texas trying to write evolution out of text books. What a fucking decline. Religion prays upon the ignorant, the opiate of the masses, so of course it hates education, reality, and rationalism.
