The right’s blatant attacks on higher education are tactics to undermine “the gains and progress women have made in the economy” = independence from men.

The #MAGA cult of hate and ignorance has finally declared #WarOnEducation. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/republicans-blame-charlie-kirk-shooting_n_68c867b0e4b00ea64839bcfb

Like any cult in #history , in order to keep people INSIDE the cult, it is essential to eventually demonize *everyone* outside of the cult and prevent young people from learning anything that contradicts cult ‘teaching’.

I expect they will start targeting certain academic disciplines, like the #IslamicState did; https://www.thenewsminute.com/amp/story/news/isis-bans-philosophy-chemistry-syria-schools-wants-islamic-education-system-19486

Measures intended to punish elite universities are inflicting collateral damage on the nation’s two-year colleges, which educate 40 percent of all undergraduates. Republicans are too stupid to understand the inter-dependencies in complex, sophisticated systems.

@skykiss the GOP doesn't like educated voters because it doesn't serve their personal, short-term interests

#WarOnEducation

Diversity builds strength
Exposure to new ideas builds understanding
Cultural depth builds empathy
Knowledge builds intellect
Critical thinking builds resilience
Fascists fear them because they empower individuals

the #WarOnEducation is #fascism

@stevesilberman knowledge is power, and the sad GOP is existentially afraid of an educated populace

"“declining college enrollments here in Florida... will seriously impact... the economic viability of Florida...”

Non-college-educated people tend to be poorer, live shorter lives and...

they are “more likely to avail themselves of government subsidies and the wide variety of services that federal, state, and local governments provide” than college-educated Americans."

GOP Translation Guide - part 1
"woke" = educated (in some languages literal translation is "people who care about something other than just themselves")
"virtue signaling" = role model
"science is inconclusive" = we don't trust educated, credentialed experts or scientific method
"do the research" = ignore the educated, credentialed experts
"free speech" = only those words we say
“thoughts and prayers" = doing absolutely nothing except this one passing mention
