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: 

1. Stand up in solidarity with those who are political targets

2. 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.
