words to be noticed are " a min or 2" lets not post the usual 20 minute long posts that only end up getting the answer tl;dr.
in my opinion education can prevent discrimination and it opens up ones mind to other peoples views. However there is a distinction between high school education and a university degree.
High schoolers may be educated to some point but not enough. Universities actually teach you so much that you really evolve and your views are altered and evolve. Sadly Bush is a bit of an anti-thesis to this since one could call him semi-educated (went to Yale and read a book).
anyways, id definetly say that education can prevent alot of smaller stuff that later turns into bigger stuff. For instance an educated person would think twice about re-electing someone like bush. The uneducated person who thinks that America really is endangered by other countries well...
