"...nor is it in the LatAm countries which haven't had the chance to make education available to ALL children, meaning poor children of ALL groups, not just the ones whose parents can afford to have them enrolled in schools the poor people can't afford." -- Judi Lynn, Thu Aug 24, 2017, 06:45 PM... POST #5 in the above thread.

That is an outright lie. The Prussian Model of compulsory government education (the same as the US) has been in place for over 50 years in Venezuela. This has resulted (in the past) in a thriving working and middle class. But you wouldn't know that, because you know nothing about Venezuela. You might be under the impression that Venezuelans are all peons/peasants, running around in white pajamas and living in snake infested cardboard shacks in the hills.

Every citizen of Venezuela, for the past 50+ years, has had an opportunity (no guarantees) to go to college/university... the same as the United States. As a matter of fact, they have been better at providing this sort of education than the United States, in my opinion. Poor people are not prohibited in an manner from attending... the same as the United States. But again, you wouldn't know that, because you know nothing about Venezuela. It doesn't fit your Chavista rhetoric.

You should REALLY go there to visit someday. Maybe when it is safer, after Chavismo is gone?
