Cultural Politics and the Crisis of Education and Political Agency - https://lnkd.in/g7vcHfjb
Education in the Age of Fascist Politics -- The political war on education is now a central project of the menacing thrust toward authoritarianism in the United States. What is new is that the specter of fascism consists of both a right-wing attack to control and eliminate public and higher education as democratic public spheres and the waging of a full-scale attack on those elements of education that enable young people and others to become informed and critical citizens. This is a deeply anti-democratic movement increasingly embraced by states controlled by the Republican Party. The ideological thrust of this war on education is evident in recent remarks by Larry Arnn, president of Hillsdale College, who stated that “Teaching is our trade; also, I confess, it’s our weapon” (Joyce 2022b). He has also stated that “the philosophic understanding at the heart of modern education is enslavement” (Strauss 2022).
