Haven't we already tried Trump U and Praeger U?

This is just one more embarrassment for the conservative movement.

A new age of anti-intellectualism awaits us.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

The new age of anti-intellectualism persists. Continues. Stubbornly endures.

Those who can't, open their own university and grift people.

Now the right is devaluing the word university. SMH…

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

They've been doing that for a long time.

PragerU has been infecting education since its inception and is now having its propaganda adopted by right wingers as official course material in genuine schools.

Trump University was disbanded in 2010.

Brigham Young has been around well over a century, started by an outspoken racist shitbag and still having extreme right wing and racist policies and views today.

They know full well that controlling and infecting education is the only way to breed sufficient amounts of people dumb and prejudiced enough to vote for their side.

It's why cutting public education has been a number 1 target for the right wing since forever.

The former psychology professor vowed the program would be 95% less expensive than a typical university.

Not that hard when I look at what the hell American universities cost.
