Educating for political activism and subversion: the role of public educators in a Trumpian age

Abstract

In this manuscript, I examine the new Trump administration and its US policy agenda. In particular, I am concerned with the administration’s embrace of unilateralism, imperialism and authoritarianism, supported by White Nationalism and audacious lying. I offer a few things for social justice educators to consider as well as a call for action and hope.

Notes

1. The word ‘regime’ is consciously used since the Trump prefers personal loyalty to that of loyalty to the US Constitution. Such a demand is that of tyrants and mob bosses, not the leader of a constitutional democratic republic (see Schmidt, Citation2017).
