A good point Lynell. When I think of "educated" it is not as a graduate or post-graduate level individual. I think of a fundamental education that facilitates being able to process information and distinguish between propaganda, disinformation, and lies versus information with a basis in fact.

For example, someone who might question if someone with multiple bankruptcies and massive debt is a shrewd businessperson who should lead the United States.

If we just elect people on the basis of who has the cooler yard sign -that is no longer a meaningful democracy. And it is incumbent upon us, if we truly care to continue to evolve a vibrant, meaningful democracy -to make funding for education an absolute priority, to honor and pay teachers well, to not allow the classroom to be politicized by eradicating actual history, and to provide affordable higher education for all who would like to pursue it.
