When a leader attacks public education, they’re attacking democracy. Here’s what Trump’s agenda for schools really means—authoritarianism in the classroom.

Ok I’m gonna try to read this article, but the sub headline w “seen as too progressive” already got me mad (how’s abt fact -based) and now the first person quoted is Rufo. I likely need to get some air before I read the thing-gift article- www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/u...

Should we invade Mexico? Should we annex Greenland? Should everyone born here be a citizen? Should there be a nonpartisan civil service? Can we keep out foreigners and remove noncitizens? Should very rich people be able to buy their very own politicians and judges? Should there be public schools?

Time to play a fun game called "What century are we in?"
