as posted by the channelSupport our work
As the Trump administration attempts to dismantle higher education in the United States by redefining discrimination in schools, fighting so-called woke ideology, attacking diversity, equity and inclusion programs, gutting the Department of Education, and threatening funding for research and higher education, we speak with Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley, whose latest book is "Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future." He says Trump's assault on education is part of the authoritarian playbook since "universities are centers for defending democracy." He also urges university presidents to speak out more forcefully. "It used to be that our presidents were supposed to speak out in favor of democratic values. Now university presidents are being told, 'Oh, you have to preserve your institutions.' Guess what: Universities are core democratic institutions."
