”Democracy is about freedom and equality.”

We discuss the purpose of fascist education, the political nature of universities in defending democracy, and the dangers of America’s powerful exceptionalist narrative.

Jason Stanley is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University and the author of seven books. His most recent is Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future.

Your civic action toolkit recommendations from Jason are:

1. Stand up in solidarity with those who are political targets

2. Understand other people’s perspectives because that gives them the voice in a democracy
