NYGBC: The War on Learning to Read Good and Do Other Stuff Too Part 2

This week, we dive back into our lunatic fringe exploration of the right’s war on college education, and if there’s anything I can promise you it is that this episode is full of guns, trucks, country music, and statistics about the right’s view of a college education as a net positive in American society.

We dive deep into the muddy waters of the coordinated propaganda machine that amplified right wing grievances about “muh free speech” on college campuses into a full on panic about YOUR CHILDREN being turned into ANTIFA SUPER SOLDIERS!

Thanks as always for listening and enjoy the show!
