Free School

Apparently Miami (Oxford), along with ivy league elite Harvard University, offers free tuition to low income families.

That's a start. The first step towards joining the ranks of other civilized democracies who make it a point to offer free education to everyone.

Democracy, in order to not be considered a failure, does demand a certain level of intelligence from its participants. While offering free education would in no way guarantee an "intelligent" electorate, it will certainly help to level the playing field. Even the best of minds will wither away if left unused.
