Headlines in the Washington Post and New York Times over a two-day period in March announced 1) President Trump’s order closing the Education Department, 2) executive action designed to attack lawyers who bring suits against the government, and 3) a temporary judicial order restraining the Trump Administration from deporting a research fellow at Georgetown University. What do these events have in common? They reflect a multipronged attack, heedless of academic or press freedoms and the rule of law, against institutions of knowledge and of law.
i hate when they phrase it like trump isnt doing exactly what the GOP wants. this is a republican attack on education. they are all 100% complicit in everything this piece of shit does, and it should be phrased as such.
