I'm blaming the American education system and the people who stood by and let it be run into the ground for years at a time.
And in response to Alex K and Pandemonium about why I won't step foot in America now. There are a number of reasons:
1) I don't trust it. What with its gun culture, flawed justice system and propensity to lock people up and throw away the key, add to that a fascist movement seizing power and their existing system of mass surveillance and demonisation of certain minorities and non-Americans, this opens up a whole plethora of nightmare scenarios. In the same way I wouldn't go to other theocracies such as Dubai, Pakistan or Iran. Sure each risk is extremely small, but why take the chance?
2) America will be a very different place in less than a year's time.
3) I don't want my money to go into the American economy.
