Robert Reich: Want to Fight Fascism? Protect Public Education.

May 15, 2026 In Conversation

Why is Trump so terrified of teachers?

Because like every dictator, he knows the greatest threat to his rule is an educated public.

I spoke with American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten about Trump's war on teachers — and how we can fight back.

Public ignorance, as we are now seeing so clearly in action, is far more costly than property taxes ever were.

As I am posting this statement I've had several attempts of destroying it. I've had various pop ups to detract or side track the statement like computer coding showing up when I had not keyboard requesting it and other crap.
Critical thinking must scare the hell out of our "wealthy superiors" As you know their henchmen are monitoring this site. And I am tired of my tax paying for deductions for private education
