It's unfortunately entirely inline with their political goals. There's been an ongoing attack on upper education, all sciences etc because they're viewed as being part of the problem. Like how Florida has been taking over and installing stooges in colleges to massive negative effect.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> There's been an ongoing attack on upper education, all sciences etc because they're viewed as being part of the problem Let's be honest, it's coming from both sides. The illiberal left is just as guilty of crucifying academics it disagrees with as the neoauthoritarian right. (Not sure why I feel the need to qualify the latter with neo, but I don't think they'd wilfully authoritarian as much as authoritarian leaning. At least among the rank and file.)
