Pundit Glen Beck has ordained via his blackboard that education is equal to indoctrination. The high priest of big bluster 500 pound gorilla Rush Limbaugh says that change is for liberals. Conservatives do not change. To top it all the master of outrageous talk also self anointed greatest nutritionist in the world Michael Savage has dubbed universities and colleges as hot beds of liberalism which according to him is a mental disorder. The lavishly funded conservative think tanks and their supporters are funneling a great deal of money to veer the college and university education to conservatism.
Who said the arch propagandist Goebbels was is dead. The conservations have resurrected him and adopted his same techniques. They blabber the same message day in and out. It always sounds like as an urgent message from God to be delivered by to masses by them exclusively. It sounds like the dictates of propaganda ministries of wartime Germany and Russia. They call themselves opinion makers and not journalists. According to them media is liberal ridden and fake.
With education being bandied as the enemy of the people by the rulers of the air waves, we are headed downhill at breakneck speed of course. These bands of fanatic leaders of propaganda have decided to wreck the education from within. They would supplant it with their brand of myopic message that we need to stick to our founding fathers who incidentally had the most liberal education available at that time and the Bible.
In Las Vegas we have found a fighter in Dr. William Epstein of UNLV. His fight to preserve education in UNLV is worth emulation and may take some shine off the great propaganda machine described above.
