Well the newly ultra MAGA owner of Twitter just tweeted that progressive professors are the root of all evil. The war on “woke” learning (also called social studies/ liberal arts) is real. It’s a very different world when teachers helping students to expand their world view are considered the enemy. In many totalitarian regimes, professors are some of the first to be rounded up. Moreover, who gets to define progressive? It’s definitely a scary time for education. Like with the medical world & journalism, there are powerful forces who are dead set on erasing a liberal or progressive point of view.

Not to be forgotten, the "eternal" stereotype of higher education being associated with conniving, devious, dangerous Jews.

Exactly. And now “radical” Black, Queer, feminist studies are the new root of all evil. Why? because they piss off conservative white people when they see their kids eyes & hearts open to the struggles of oppressed groups & start to understand that solidarity is actually a useful value. Conservatives do not want to grow & they do not want to be held to account, in any way, for the continued oppression of marginalized groups.
