#louisiana is so embarrassing. #republicans control our state and their plan to keep their citizens poorly educated and ignorant is working fine. Only the poorly #educated or the rich vote for #GOP politicians and they know it

This book was recommended by my therapist. I am so glad I found it. This author's life mirrors some of my own. I felt the heartbreak of breaking free from a broken family, and I felt the struggles of starting a higher education after almost no real schooling (thanks, mom). I had to earn my GED first, but close enough.
Honestly, it was so hard for me that it took a couple of years to read it. It has a special place on my bookshelf.

And this is why #democracy doesn't work without a well #educated well #informed #electorate.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the 7 key #SwingStates ALL have fewer college #educated voters than the national average. #MtP

#DeSantis thinks he can make #climateChange disappear if he mandates that #textbooks delete any mention of it. Once again I ask, why would any company hire people from #Florida? Businesses want smart, #educated employees who understand important issues, and can take them into account when creating solutions. Florida students are receiving a censored education without the topics that are relevant to the present and future.

This is a friendly, even if pedantic, reminder to talking heads, such as Bruce Maiman, that #DonaldTheDeplorable did not say "I love the non-college #educated!", he said "I love the *poorly* educated!" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/opinion-donald-trump-college-educated-republicans_n_65b2a8a6e4b04d8995104d8e

#MAGA cult members who graduated from fake 'universities', such as #LibertyU or #HillsdaleCollege , are in fact 'poorly educated'. And unlike #NikkiHaley donors, they are quite welcome in the #MAGAcult !

#PrimaryFromTheCenter and then #VoteBlue to #SaveAmerica.

The Origin of Student Debt:

Regan advisor warned that Free College would create a Dangerous Educated Proletariat

It’s important to understand how Americans came to #owe the current cumulative total of *more than $1.6 trillion* for higher education.

In 1970, Ronald Reagan was running for reelection as governor of California. He had first won in 1966 with confrontational rhetoric toward the University of California public college system and executed confrontational policies when in office. In May 1970, Reagan shut down all 28 UC and Cal State campuses in the midst of student protests against the Vietnam War and the U.S. bombing of Cambodia. On October 29, less than a week before the election, his education adviser #Roger A. #Freeman spoke at a press conference to defend him.

Freeman’s remarks were reported the next day in the San Francisco Chronicle under the headline “Professor Sees Peril in Education.”

According to the Chronicle article, Freeman said, “We are in #danger of producing an #educated #proletariat. … That’s dynamite! We have to be #selective on who we #allow [to go to college].”

“If not,” Freeman continued, “we will have a large number of highly trained and unemployed people.”

Freeman also said — taking a highly idiosyncratic perspective on the cause of fascism —“that’s what happened in Germany. I saw it happen.”

Many #Black #Californians #report adjusting their appearance or behavior — even #minimizing questions — all to reduce the chances of #discrimination & #bias in #hospitals , #clinics & #doctors’ offices. Of the #strategies they describe taking, 32% pay special attention to how they dress; 35% modify their speech or behavior to put doctors at ease. And 41% of #Black #patients signal to providers that they are #educated , #knowledgeable & #prepared .
