How weak schools serve Trump's agenda

[reagansghost]

You are right about Toadstool supporters.... but there are many of them who do have education. They refuse to use it to exercise critical thinking skills, however. I'm guessing that they don't have many of those.

agreed, many are educated - and support right wing ideology because they are either wealthy or aspire to be wealthy and not pay taxes, or believe the GOP will outlaw abortion, or simply hate the big bad boogeyman liberals

but sadly Trump's base is mainly comprised of dolts with HS diplomas, or less

The difference is that Obama is an advocate for teachers, schools and education whereas Trump thinks they are a liberal conspiracy.

Wrong as usual. Obama advocates for Liberals pushing their agenda on students. If you're honest, you'll admit that Liberals try to indoctrinate students. Mine were too smart to fall for it. Yours likely welcomed be indoctrinated so they wouldn't have to think for themselves, only obey orders from their handlers.

Do you have any statistical Do you have any statistical data to back up that absurd claim?

Don't need any, you serve as a great example.

Hello signalmankenneth,

A lack of education standards in this country gave us Trump?!! Remember a poorly educated populace is easy to control and manipulate too?!! We need to invest in our education system, so we never again have a person like Trump as POTUS?!!

Of course the president says he loves the ‘poorly educated’: authoritarian regimes benefit when citizens lack education

In late July, at a speech for veterans in Kansas City, Missouri, President Trump jabbed a finger at the back of the room, where members of the media were gathered, and cautioned his audience: “Don’t believe the crap you see from these people. They’re fake news.” He was upset, as he often is, because he felt he was being treated unfairly by the media. It was pretty standard red meat, the stuff we’re growing more and more used to from our commander-in-chief. The crowd loved it.

President Trump loves the poorly educated because if they really learned everything about him they would stop supporting him.
