Or "What Does This Look Like".

Coming out of discussions of a Nazi Victory TL -- but it could apply to other scenarios -- what does it look like when a modern, industrialized nation adopts an insane education policy that severely guts the teaching of math, science, and the humanities, and keeps these policies in place for a generation (ie > 20 years)?

Has anything like this happened before?* What happens when a generation raised by such an education system comes of age? What does this look like economically, culturally, and socially? And what are the longer term effects?

*obviously, Nazis would count, were they not out of power ten years too early
