The Propaganda Pushers 0

Paul Krugman considers Republican efforts to pursue–and vanquish!–truth. A snippet (emphasis added):

Republicans have made considerable political hay by denouncing the teaching of critical race theory; this strategy has succeeded even though most voters have no idea what that theory is and it isn’t actually being taught in public schools. But the facts in this case don’t matter, because denunciations of CRT are basically a cover for a much bigger agenda: an attempt to stop schools from teaching anything that makes right-wingers uncomfortable.

It’s hard to understand how children can be taught to think for themselves when the state wants to aggressively ban anything that even hints of controversy.

Afterthought:

In Republican World, truth is to pursued–and vanquished.
