Let's Have A War (On Education)

After All, The Enemy's Within!

Amanda Marcotte / Salon:
Trump opens up a new war on public schools  —  MAGA leaders promise an “educational insurgency” to create “boot camps for winning back America”  —  It's not a coincidence that Donald Trump's nominee for Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, is the defendant in a lawsuit alleging that she ignored widespread sexual abuse of minors at World Wrestling Entertainment when she was CEO. Abandoning children to predatory forces who wish to dominate and exploit them seems to be a requisite of the job under the incoming Trump administration. In his first term, Trump picked Amway heiress Betsy DeVos to run the Education Department because of her long history of anti-public school activism. This time, he simply needs someone who will stand aside as an army of far-right Christians, emboldened by the rise of groups like Moms for Liberty, take the lead in attacking the very foundations of free, secular education.

    "Let's have a War" by the band Fear, is the national anthem of a country of lies, delusion and eternal war fueled by rivers of human blood. This is America.
