Education, enlightenment, critical thinking, and erasing boundaries so people understand the common things we all need and strive for as humans - all that is the enemy of petty tyrants, authoritarians, and fascists.

Trump loves the poorly educated.

He's simply trying to create more of them.

A dumber population will make America great again!

Isn't it obvious? He wants the students to enroll in Trump U for summer school and English lessons.
