(11,744 posts)Education has always been about gathering information in the pursuit of verifiable facts. Being a Liberal or Progressive is also about using information to formulate hypotheses and test them. If they work, we use is, until it no longer works, then we tweak it or change it. Conservatism is typically about resistance to change. Education and information flies in the face of conserving ideas so conservatives (who happen to be the majority of Republicans these days.) have been attempting to corrupt or discredit education for decades.
