That's a wonderful parable.

For such a situation to work, the person being taught must be intelligent, have basic morality, have a conscience.

Wild animals cannot learn anything from this. Nor hominids, who only understand race, tribe, and force.

So our Replacement Americans cannot be so taught.

Advice to Dumbo cracks:

Find a hobby. One that has nothing to do with gaining power over others.

Stupid, addled, sexually-obsessed people are not fit to lead, rule, or even discuss in the public sphere.
