@DonRua So, you're unfamiliar w/ the American history of right-wing McCarthyism & the Red Scare, during which working-class people were disparaged, deported, disappeared, & dispatched(MURDERED) for standing up to the wealthy-class & their right-wing politics. Well, let me educate you.
The right-wing-driven sabotage and violence of McCarthyism and the Red Scare had profound dumbing-down effects on all of society, including the things educators could safely teach or not teach.
The violence eased up for a while, because education and educators moved swiftly toward the right to avoid the violence perpetrated by the right-wing. But the right-wing-driven sabotage and dumbing-down of the working-class has been ever-present.
However, in the present-day, we're witnessing the rhyming-nature of history, as evidenced by a right-wing-driven increase in the dumbing-down of education in southern states and right-wing jurisdictions, and in the increase of right-wing-driven violence taking place around the country.
And if you keep voting for right-wing politics -- the politics which are inherently pro-wealthy-class and anti-working class, and the very politics that are espoused by right-wing Repubs and right-wing Dem -- the right-wing-driven sabotage and dumbing-down will continue, and the right-wing-driven violence is going to get much, much worse.
