Deportations and Dumbing Down: Trump Attacks Education
On ‘America Unhinged,’ Francesca and Wajahat discuss Trump’s unjust deportation of migrants and the executive order to shut down the Department of Education.
It’s day 60 of Trump’s second administration, and again, the United States is facing a constitutional crisis.
On the latest episode of ‘America Unhinged’ on YouTube, Francesca Fiorentini and Wajahat Ali react to the Trump administration’s shocking and unjust deportation of migrants with no criminal history, but who happened to fit a certain profile.
“These are not criminals. These are not people who pose any kind of threat to Americans,” Francesca says. She warns, “This is like 9/11 on steroids… The apparatus for all of this has been around and it has fully been weaponized by this administration.”
Meanwhile, Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, overstepping his authority, since it cannot be dissolved without Congressional approval. Former New York Representative Jamaal Bowman – and now co-host of the new Zeteo show, ‘Bowman & Bush’ – joins to break it all down.
“The only way fascism works, the only way authoritarianism works, is if the country is in chaos and mis-educated. So year after year, attacks on public education were not by accident. They were by design, they were strategic,” Bowman explains.
Watch the episode above to hear the full discussion, including Fox News floating the death penalty – yes, the death penalty – for Tesla protesters.

It would make sense if Trump wanted nobody to be better educated than He.
In which case theres no need for education at all in his mind..
