This is such a bad, unbelievable self own for the United States. Our education system was the envy of the world, it has been an economic engine for our country, creating technical expertise, high tech startups and jobs, and exporting our values across the world.

But because of a perception that Academica is a liberal power center, conservatives are focused on destroying it. And that's what this is, make no mistake; this is a culture war, an anti-intellectualism crusade, and a celebration of ignorance and raw power triumphing over reason.

A dark time for America as the destruction of our education system unfolds, but good people are fighting back.
