Anyway, the author says that from the time of Dewey we have deemphasized teaching history and thus the voters are not as well informed, before TikTok became a source of bad information. He is especially hard on Massachusetts, which decided not to include History in its MCAS testing graduation requirement.
As for Geert Wilders, I would think there was impact from back in 2004, with the assassination of videographer Theo van Gogh. He was teamed up with Dutch Parliament Member Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who recently announced her switch from Islam to Christianity. I can't help but think that death was a big deal in a small nation.
Your comment about teaching history is spot on. I recommend a new book from Pioneer Institute, _Restoring the City on a Hill: U.S. History & Civics in America's Schools_, by Chris SInacols. Here is the Kindle link: https://www.amazon.com/Restoring-City-Hill-History-Americas-ebook/dp/B0CJ94T878/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
