This is a smart thread, well worth engaging with. But I think the the historical frame work here could be enriched by engaging with the history of the right. The war on higher ed is much older than recent education polarization -- see McCarthyism. In 1940s reactionaries like W.F.

2 female German tourists, 18 and 19 y.o., were detained in Honolulu for a terrible ‘crime’ of not pre-booking a hotel for their trip. Before deportation, they had to spend the night at the detention center. News like that will certainly do wonders for Hawaiian tourism industry🤡
