It’s been a stereotype for at least the last 50 years. Why has this never changed? Why has organized labor not had a substantial effect for such an essential part of the workforce?

Forget what it says on the tin. To truly understand a society, look at its institutions.
Education isn’t valued by the sociopaths that run the US.
It hasn’t been for some time.
“Education” is indoctrination. That’s why kids are forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. It’s why I was taught about Columbus. It’s why I believed that “Honest Abe” fought for the rights of slaves.
All bullshit, but each was a small building block to believing that somehow the US was a special place, a blessed nation, where personal expression and equality and opportunity were valued and hard work meant success.
And the sad thing - even at its worst, the US is still a better place to live than 80% of the world.
Clarification: Education is so dangerous to the ruling class that they are attempting to remove it.
