The far-out right-wing’s latest political ploy takes extremism to the extreme. Escalating their divisive series of “culture wars” (banning books, suppressing women’s rights, whitewashing history, demonizing teachers, etc.) – their current idea is to declare war on ideas! Specifically, they’re going after state university programs that teach creative arts and social studies, including history, languages, music, civics, literature, economics, theology, and other courses in the humanities that explore ideas, foster free-thinking, and expand enlightenment.
