Are you truly proposing a limit on voting rights based on educational achievements? I think that is a road that will lead to an elite class in our society, limiting political power to those who grew up in poverty or had other struggles.

We already have enough problems with an elite class within our economic power. Lets not extend that elitism into governmental processes as well.




I did not. I just wanted to say, that we should try to educate children, because they will be allowed to vote as adults.


Thank you for clarifying. I must have been thrown off by your exact words of, "Well, you should not be allowed to vote"
