This kind of argument about schools is a classic sign of authoritarianism.
It’s the opposite of how officials who value individual rights and free society should speak about education.
The hilarious (if you, like me, have a notably grim sense of humor) is that this is all in the name of “stopping socialism”, when purges of intellectuals, teachers, etc., is exactly what happened in Russia, China, Cambodia, et al, post-revolution.
They know not what they do; their understanding of socialism is as an epithet. Their social war is based on their ideas being so weak that they can't withstand being exposed to other ideas.
