The Dynamics of Schoolmarmocracy and Political Power

This chapter examines the concept of 'Schoolmarmocracy,' focusing on leadership styles influenced by socially conforming figures, particularly women in political and media arenas. It critiques how educators and media act as 'thought police,' oversimplifying complex political ideologies and discussing the impact of gender representation on political authority. Through the lens of Ursula von der Leyen's challenges, it also highlights the political climate across Europe, exploring migration sentiments and their implications for the EU.
