What are we going to do about fascists owning a swath of universities here.

@StillIRise1963 Teach-ins, as you already mentioned, are a good start. It seems some universities are moving from being a business to being controlled by the billionaire cabal. The cabal wants to set the curriculum, set who can attend or stay enrolled, and set who can teach.

@timo21 Yep. Eliminate the humanities so people stop thinking altogether.

@StillIRise1963 @timo21 actually eliminating the humanities and reducing all education into “how much $$$ da ya wanna make?” (even at our “best” schools) started in the Reagan era…it took us 40 years to get to Trump

@JeanPDeliet Yep. Every plan started right after desegregation.

@StillIRise1963 start over is probably the correct answer...

Schools have been a business for a while when they should be educating the masses

@Aviva_Gary 🤔 I have to think about that.

@StillIRise1963 encourage kids to go into the trades (plumbing, carpentry, electrical, etc.) better money, no massive debt, apprentices get paid to learn. Reducing the demand for colleges might make them compete on quality and equality.

@hoco I certainly don’t think college is the place for everyone. It becoming that was a money grab. People should follow their talents.

@StillIRise1963 I’m thinking that universities are losing their relevance.

@WackyIdeas That would be a terrible thing.

@StillIRise1963 In , the state universities are being gutted by the DeSantis appointed Board of Governors, and being turned into indoctrination centers.

@WackyIdeas College isn’t worth a damn there. It’s a waste of money and dangerous for young minds.
