"If you wanted to control the future, where would you start? With the minds of the next generation."
In this episode of Sinister Silhouettes, we break down the current administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education and expose the deeper motives behind it. Is it really about cutting costs and giving power back to the states, or is there something far more sinister at play?
We’ll examine the historical playbook authoritarian regimes have used—how the Nazis, Mao’s China, and Pinochet’s Chile manipulated education to control society—and why defunding and restricting public education is one of the first steps toward consolidating power.
An uneducated society is an obedient society. And that’s exactly what they want.
🔴 Why would a dictator want to eliminate public education?
🔴 How does history warn us about the dangers of dismantling education?
🔴 What happens when the next generation doesn’t know enough to fight back?
Listen now and get the full story before history repeats itself.
