Earlier this month the authoritarian far right achieved a significant victory in their campaign to eliminate the teaching of anything that contradicts their white supremacist gospel, when they forced the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, a black woman. That resignation was also demanded by a set of super rich donors threatening to stop giving. And last year the right shook up the entire public school system, winning legislation in many Republican controlled states that made it a crime to teach about racism (that the right insists no longer exists), sexual minorities, and more. Bill Resnick talks to Malik Miah, a Black revolutionary activist airline mechanic who retired to write two books and many articles, about the attack and how it can be defeated.
