Defending Mathematics The Serious You: How Current Events Affect You

Indeed. We have technical sector jobs that go unfilled because we have too few AMericans educated well enough to do those jobs.
Worse, lack of education is one thing that helps misinformation / disinformation / propaganda to spread - although I have encountered people with "more degrees than a thermometer" who fall for propaganda and disinformation frequently. Picture a PhD who sends someone $30k to get their share of a $26 million oil contract overage that a former Nigerian oil minister needs to move out of the country.
So while education doesn't really totally immunize someone from pseudoscience and propaganda, it can help. Of course Gwynth Paltlow hasn't gone broke selling her tuna fish oil candles purporting to smell like a female anatomical part, and of course all the other sca m / fraudulent "goop": stuff.

When it's full of propaganda, it just churns out less employable graduates, and industry will continue to turn to India and South America and Eastern Europe for H1B visa immigrants to fill the good jobs.
Those educated in propaganda can look forward to careers in the janitorial and food service industries, where one gets abused by Karens on a daily basis.

If they can get H1 visas.
Current admin will grant H1 visas to those they want to.
Sadly, they probably won't be from India, but from China.

Still playing polotics. Everything they do is political rather than good for the country.

The most effective way out there to bring in spies for the Chinese government, and infiltrate a 5th column that can clear the way for the invasion. There might be a rifle behind every blade of grass in the red states, but they can waltz right into the blue states with no resistance.

That's true for the Democrats, the RINOs and the Establishment GOP members.
