This regime hates education because the greatest obstacle to dictatorship is an educated populace. Ignorance is the handmaiden of tyranny. That’s why slave owners prohibited enslaved people from learning to read, fascists burn books, & tyrants close universities. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
They hate educated and working women the most. We’re their main obstacle to monopolizing procreation decisions.
So true…the dumbing down of the US
It’s why for decades the GOP has cut education budgets because they want controllable morons.
The Age of Enlightenment is over, we're now entering the Age of Anti-intellectualism.

This is the same reason church services were said in Latin. This instilled blind obedience. Evangelicals just twist Bible verse to fit the agenda. Education must start at home. True history hasn't been taught in schools. Civics isn't taught either.

The future of educators? 47's idea of job creation- burying dead intellectuals.
Educated people ask intelligent questions. Don't want any of that.
Thats why they're killing off the elders. Because the know the history. They can teach the children the truth.
It is also why women were prohibited from going to school learning to read going to college because now that we can we’re just out of control.
LINDA IS THE HEAD OF OUR DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND ALSO WILL BE ONE OF THE RECIPIENTS OF THE TAX CUTS FOR BILLIONAIRES The Department of Education is currently withholding almost $7 billion in K-12 education funding that was previously approved by Congress
