Trump’s War on Education

[Stalin]

The attacks on colleges and universities — Donald Trump’s administration has warned some 60 colleges that they could lose federal money if they fail to make campuses safe for Jewish students and is already pulling $400 million from Columbia University — has nothing to do with fighting antisemitism.

Antisemitism is a smoke screen, a cover for a much broader and more insidious agenda. The goal, which includes plans to abolish the Department of Education and terminate all programs of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), is to turn the educational system, from kindergarten to graduate school, into an indoctrination machine.

Totalitarian regimes seek absolute control over the institutions that reproduce ideas, especially the media and education. Narratives that challenge the myths used to legitimize absolute power — in our case historical facts that blemish the sanctity of white male supremacy, capitalism and Christian fundamentalism — are erased.

There is to be no shared reality. There are to be no other legitimate perspectives. History is to be static. It is not to be open to reinterpretation or investigation. It is to be calcified into myth to buttress a ruling ideology and the reigning political and social hierarchy. Any other paradigm of power and social interaction is tantamount to treason.

“One of the most significant threats that a class hierarchy can face is a universally accessible and excellent public school system,” writes Jason Stanley in Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future:

must current college kids can't do simple math without a calculator, but they can tell you everything about Palestine. Time to clean up the education swamp. Destroy the DOD forever! Give it to the states (where it belongs) and then you can fill california with social justice CRT bullshit all you want, while students in other states get a REAL education
Cheers!

It is indisputable that what Netanyahu has done to the population of Gaza is a severe violation of human rights, and protesting against it is 100% rational. The First Amendment makes student protests entirely legal.

Have you offered to go there and help the people of Gaza? at the very least, have you done your part and caused traffic by protesting with one of those scarfs and some stupid sign? YEAH, that'll help them!

I did not say that I participated in any protests, only that peaceful student protests should be 100% legal and that arresting a US resident and trying to deport him is a violation of the First Amendment. Shitshizpants needs to be impeached, removed, tried and imprisoned for his many violations of US civil rights.

Everytime you post and witnessing your pathetic education level and knowing the exorbitant cost of education, I can't help feeling that one day we'll get a massive refund on you.

Protesting the ethnic cleansing of Gaza and the West Bank is anti-Netanyahu, NOT anti Semitic.
