Majority of Republicans think higher education is bad for America

That’s very good. I put another level on top of data, information, knowledge: understanding. Knowing a thing is not the same as understanding a thing, and to accomplish anything meaningful or useful with that knowledge you need to be able to answer not just the “what” questions but also the “how” and “why” questions, to explain and interpret and discuss the causes and effects of a thing rather than merely recite facts about it.

That’s an excellent example of what “do anything meaningful” should include. That hits all the higher-level Bloom’s stuff right there: analyze the problem, synthesize disparate information into new, relevant understanding, apply that understanding to create and implement a novel solution.
