Yay let’s cut teacher education & social sciences! We don’t need people with skills in critical thinking, who understand how power works & can see when we are being manipulated by institutions designed to enrich the few while screwing the many.

This will end well 🤦🏼‍♀️.

The pernicious funding model our governments are using for higher education & research has consequences that will last a very long time.

Whose interests are served here?
