Facts Do Have a Left-Wing Bias
Dunno why I pay attention to any Iowa politics, as I don’t live in Iowa (though I border them), but I do, and so I get to see how the state government of my midwest neighbor is also performatively destroying their civil institutions for culture war idiocy. But I love this quote from one of said idiots, Rep. Steve Holt [R-PearlClutcher, of course], about the drive to force conservative propaganda classes in Iowa state colleges via a new ‘School of Intellectual Freedom’ 🙄:
“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist. Clearly today the vast majority of young people coming out of our institutions of higher learning view capitalism in a more negative light than they ever have before, and they view socialism in a more positive light. So to suggest that this isn’t happening, in my opinion, is absurd.”
Or, hear me out, the kids are probably on to something. I don’t think taking a class on socialism is necessary for them to realize that the whole capitalist system has been fucking them for some time. They just have to look around.
