The mainstream media has enabled Trump’s war on universities | Jason Stanley

Donald Trump and his allies believe the election gave them the mandate to crush America ’s system of higher education.

The justification given by the regime is that universities are run by leftist ideologues, who have indoctrinated students to adopt supposedly leftist ideological orientations, as well as hostility to Israel , anti-whiteness and trans inclusivity.

The US mainstream media has waged a decade -long propaganda campaign against American universities.

The main “chill” at universities has been a relentless attack on college professors and students by rightwing outlets.

University professors are terrified of being targeted by these organizations.

Major mainstream media outlets have consistently failed to report on the rightwing media assault on professors over the last two decades .

The mainstream media has delivered the Republicans a win in a propaganda war against academia, one that began with William F Buckley in the 1950s .

Within the university, powerful actors are superficially standing against the Trump regime’s attack, while implementing its agenda.

The “war on woke” is the calling card of the global fascist right.
