It’s their newest strategy don’tyaknow!

They have been unsuccessful in the past but 21st century and education is no longer important. A lot has changed so much from when I was growing up.

Education was important American exceptionalism was encouraged. Going to college was encouraged.

Unions were important: Look for the Union Label, I still remember the commercials and the jingle for it.

However, the republican elites don’t want people to be educated, it’s easier to pick their pockets while making them believe it is us. Apparently, it is working!
