Uneducated white male rightists are gullible and mostly inhabit the Red Shithole States

 


Few rightists have ever seen a University Campus, unless they were janitors 
of course.   The broom and mop brigade.
 

Trump supporters don't go to Universities.  They Clean Toilets


Uneducated white male rightists are gullible and mostly inhabit the 
impoverished Red State shitholes where their stupidity is satisfied by a 2 
bit hustler, a pathological liar named Trump.


Why Trump Loves the Uneducated
Scrubbing our history books of references to Black, Brown, and other 
patriots is just a first step towards dismantling any notion of critical 
thinking.

After he won the Nevada Republican caucuses in 2016, the current President 
crowed about his victory. "We won with young. We won with old. We won with 
highly educated. We won with poorly educated. I love the poorly educated. 
" Congressman Bobby Scott (D-VA) reflected on this comment as he asked 
Republicans to join Democrats in preserving the Department of Education.

The 47th President loves the poorly educated because he knows how to 
manipulate them, and because the less you know, the more you can be 
persuaded by false rhetoric. The cuts in education, including cuts in 
educational services for the differently abled, both physically and 
intellectually, will likely have a long-term deleterious effect on the 
condition of education in our country. The President's reason for cutting 
the Department of Education is poor test scores, but the first phase of 
cuts, separating at least 1300 workers from their jobs, will also likely 
reduce the amount of educational data that is available. So, we may not 
learn, from the Survey if Doctorate Recipients (SDR), which academic areas 
we need to boost. We are not able to follow graduates over time to analyze 
career trends. Fewer employees collecting data may impact data accuracy.
 

Given this President's anti-DEI stance, we may not measure achievement gaps 
appropriately. Many of my researcher colleagues are concerned that this 
anti-detail-oriented President and his motley crew of incompetents, prefer 
aggregate numbers to disaggregated ones. That means they may continue to 
report an overall unemployment rate, but fail to report changes in Black, 
Latino, and Asian unemployment. Data collection costs money, and the 
President's aim is to cut budgets. That includes more than $600 million in 
grants, many which go to benefit the "least and the left out". Further, 
many are concerned that the Office of Civil Rights has reduced 
effectiveness because of staff cuts. The Office of Civil Rights lost at 
least 240 employees, including 180 staff attorneys. Regional offices have 
been closed, making it more difficult for people to file civil rights 
complaints.

People aren't taking this action lying down. The National Education 
Association (NEA), the NAACP, and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) 
are all suing the Department of Education to prevent its closure. According 
to the NEA "If the Education Department is broken apart, the rights of 
students, particularly our most vulnerable – to an education that imparts 
academic lessons, civil rights protections, and prepares them for their 
future, will be undercut". In addition, with fewer worker protections, and 
an indifference to safety net supports, people will be forced into low wage 
work instead of workforce development activities that will better prepare 
them for good jobs in the future.

This president loves the poorly educated because they are most easily 
exploited. We are headed into a dystopian nightmare unless Democrats are 
willing to take some action. This President and his allies, assisted by a 
woman who used to lead Worldwide Wrestling (great preparation to lead the 
Department of Education) will reorganize or eliminate many critical 
functions of the Department of Education. Our young people will be the ones 
to pay.

This year 3.9 million young people are slated to graduate from high school. 
About 62 percent of them will enroll in either two or four year colleges. 
What will be the atmosphere on campuses this fall? Unless some of the 
lawsuits are successful, lower-income students, differently abled students, 
and those in need of extra services will be sidelined. DEI programs that 
offered counseling and solace to some students are likely to be dismantled. 
Tens of thousands of students, if not millions, will be disadvantaged by 
the way the Department of Education is being transformed to the Department 
of MisEducation.

This is the era of the MisEducation of the Marginalized. Scrubbing our 
history books of references to Black, Brown, and other patriots is just a 
first step towards dismantling any notion of critical thinking. This 
current President and his minions are dedicated to ignorance, and indeed 
they love the "poorly educated". What does this mean for our nation's 
future?
