Listen Later

This episode continues the discussion of not just the problematic nature  but incredible stupidity  of Trump's proposal for "Patriotic Education." The hosts discuss Jon's newest article at In the Context of Empire, wherein he narrows in on Trump's claim that the "Radical Left" is indoctrinating American students.


Discussed in this Episode:

- Why Trump's belief in a "radical left" education system that indoctrinates children is incorrect from every measurable criterion

- How the conception of "radical" is extremely subjective and often changes

- How Trump plays into a long ugly history of American anti leftism
