We discuss the purpose of fascist education, the political nature of universities in defending democracy, and the dangers of America’s powerful exceptionalist narrative.
Jason’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
-
Stand up in solidarity with those who are political targets
-
Understand other people’s perspectives because that gives them the voice in a democracy
Jason Stanley is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University and the author of seven books. His most recent is Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future.
