There’s a huge issue with that, though, that seems all too often overlooked: by doing nothing, our systems will still fall behind. They will continue to decay, to lag increasingly behind our peers and adversaries. At absolute best, the inevitable death of 1,000 cuts marches on.
Well, I think did nothing and let Vince do whatever he wanted while she signed the paperwork is the more relevant and scarier bit of what you’re responding to and what that person missed. There’s no silver lining to a Yes Man with what these people want to do to education.
At least that would illicit a reaction out of the masses; that’s exactly why these authoritarians aim to slowly strangle our safety nets. We will apparently happily let them do it, as long as it doesn’t cause us immediate and perceivable harm.
