This is the America that Trump and his cronies want-- he vilifies the media as fake and wants you to only believe what he and his propaganda machine (Fox News) spews forth. Politicians, in general, do not want our populace to be educated or think for themselves. I don't think it's a coincidence that our public schools continue to have budgets cut and ask teachers to do more with less. This has been a move by those in power for decades. They don't want the 98% to rise up and usurp their power. .
This is DeVos heads the department she wants religion taught instead of anything else.
I'm a high school educator-- we all hate Devos with a passion
