Considering we have a lack of proper education these days. Can't disagree with the premise.

We have loads of highly intelligent and successful uneducated and unwise people in the US.

There are those who say that was Jefferson's position, and others who say it was not. Jefferson made a number of enemies, some of which exist today who are attempting to fabicate evidence or revise history to detract from him and will reference each other exclusively to in attempts to construct a momentum in line with critical theory. I never met the man or received correspondence from him. Jefferson was an intelligent man and one of this nations founders. Other than that I can not contribute any solid irrefutable evidence.

So you disregard historical records as being reliable sources of information and facts upon which one can make conclusions?

Extract from Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey
Monticello Jan. 6. 16.
...if a nation expects to be ignorant & free, in a state of civilisation, it expects what never was & never will be. the functionaries of every government have propensities to command at will the liberty & property of their constituents. there is no safe deposit for these but with the people themselves; nor can they be safe with them without information. where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.

I think that the paraphrased quotation, although not Jefferson's exact words, is much more concise and easier to understand.

"An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people."

I agree with the sentiment.

It is why we need universal public education, and why education to a certain age be mandatory.
