Abstract
In a study of a public school controversy, a knowledge gap is found that the authors describe as a gap of disaffection. Among women only, higher education leads to greater knowledge, but does so partly through reduced trust of government and lower perceived fairness of the news media. Similar findings occur with other less powerful groups.
