“The best kind of education teaches us how to shift from being passive spectators to active participants in the social world. Rather than living accorded to a prescripted Bildungsroman, we can learn how to enter the plot and redirect it.”
Hey y'all! This week Olive Demar and @elimeyerhoff.bsky.social look at the university’s role as a colonial and capitalist apparatus, arguing that we need to free education from the institutions that betray and abandon it.

So as history shows us, ignoring white supremacists let’s them grow, kill, and even win elections. The only way for them to disappear is for us to confront it head on.
I do understand why people are writing about them, given they are in prominent roles in the president’s administration (including the president himself). Nevertheless, I don’t want to read about white supremacists! I want them to disappear!
