George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽

“I love poorly uneducated.” — Donald Trump

@georgetakei The quote is actually "I love the poorly educated"

@georgetakei
Indeed! It makes it difficult to learn from historical mistakes if you're illiterate and possess a limited vocabulary and understanding of the wider world..

"Mafia will be defeated by an army of primary school teachers'' - Gesualdo Bufalino

@georgetakei Did said in a different thread that MAGA loves uneducated sheeps. Easy to control and manage and they will believe anything. This is why they want the department of Education off. They need more sheeps and the younger and stupid the better.

@georgetakei Woooo, so their solution to equality is to make everyone a slave? WTF!?

@georgetakei don't forget religious fanatics in that list, who keep girls away from school so they grow up to become women totally dependent on their husbands.

@georgetakei

Straight out of the #Chinese Cultural Revolution where academics and intellectuals were widely persecuted.

History repeats itself....

@georgetakei It’s also because education, science, museum, etc. make Trump feel bad about himself.

@georgetakei
Who needs a Department of Education? Everything is just fine. Things are right where the
Greedy
Oligarchs
Plundering
Want it to be.

"Often we wish we could go back in time to change things for the better.

But then, when history repeats, we do the same thing."

- What is the worst evil of our civilization: ignorance or indifference?
- Don't know. Don't care...

@georgetakei Fredrick Douglas Jr. learned the alphabet from his owner, then learned to read by town white youths in exchange for food. Education is the way out of oppression, out of poverty, out of slavery.

@georgetakei The Brain Drain has already started, as people doing medical research are finding Overseas Research Centers and Educational Facilities to continue their work. That didn’t work so well for Chairman Mao in China. I don’t have any hope of it working here.

@georgetakei that’s what Texas dictates what can go into nationwide grade school and high school curriculum. Keep the voters stupid!
