Attack On Literature

Trump’s War On “Knowledge Workers”: Scientists, Professors, Attorneys, Journalists, Librarians!

Ronald 8 Comments

Another manifestation of the harm and danger that Donald Trump has brought upon America is his ongoing war on “Knowledge Workers”, the educated and intellectual experts in American society.

This includes such groups as:

Scientists and Medical Professionals
Professors and Teachers in all fields of Knowledge
Attorneys and other Legal Professionals
Journalists in Newspapers, Periodicals and Cable News
Librarians in Public Libraries and School Libraries

In his attack on these professional fields, Trump is undermining scientific and medical expertise, in so doing threatening public health.

Trump is also trying to rewrite the history of the American nation; transforming what people can read and study in the field of literature; and promoting a white Christianity as the only acceptable cultural alternative for the future.

The goal clearly is to control the minds and thoughts of the younger generations for the future, and to promote a narrow minded view of the world.

The resistance against this threat has been heroic, but the long term danger is still a dire threat to American democracy and the rule of law.

The Attack On Science, Medicine, History, Literature, The Arts, And Knowledge Overall!

America is in a “knowledge” crisis as right wing and Republican attacks on so many fields of truth and information are being mounted by those who want to promote an extremist agenda!

These fields of knowledge include Science, Medicine, History, Literature, and the Arts.

Religion is prevailing over these fields of knowledge, as extremists in every religion are denying scientific facts, and threatening the medical profession, with the promotion of conspiracy theories and myths regarding how to deal with health crises, such as the COVID 19 Pandemic, which killed more than one million Americans in the past three years.

History and Literature are being attacked by right wing elements, including ignorant and biased parents, as well as religious propagandists, wanting the future generation to be “protected” from the reality of racism, nativism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and homophobia!

So teachers and librarians are being told to promote book bans and knowledge bans, because supposedly children cannot be exposed to unpleasant realities, a guarantee of ignorance and inability to face the future of a society that is not just dominated by white Christians. but rather by a multi ethnic, multi racial, multi religious nation!

The arts are also under attack as crazies want to ban art, sculpture, music, and other forms of culture based on narrow minded moral censors who want religion to dominate a nation that is based on separation of church and state!
