Not much anymore. The back-to-basics people don't really want to educate people toward citizenship and the rest don't want to pay for it, I guess. We have just elected a new president who couldn't pass an American government or political science 101 course. We do have a long history of rewarding those who aren't "eggheads" and who make fun of anyone 'too educated'; apparently because we don't like people who are better than we are in any way.
