In an interview with Semafor, former CIA director and US secretary of state in the Trump administration, Mike Pompeo, said that education is one of the central issues that Republicans should focus on.

AOC’s agrees, believing that all candidates — and citizenry — should be focused on the challenges to America’s underfunded schools and demands of the teacher’s union that may be considered excessive or truly problematic.

Conservatives Filth Obsession

I tell the story often — I get asked “Who’s the most dangerous person in the world? Is it Chairman Kim, is it Xi Jinping?” The most dangerous person in the world is Randi Weingarten. It’s not a close call. If you ask, “Who’s the most likely to take this republic down?” It would be the teacher’s unions, and the filth that they’re teaching our kids, and the fact that they don’t know math and reading or writing.

Note the use of the word ‘filth’ in referring to America’s school curriculums. That word really got my attention because it’s one deeply associated — actually programmed into our brains — with our political views.

AOC has followed neuroscientific research around ‘disgust’ and political ideology for 15 years. Personally, I’ve studied ‘disgust’ and morality for decades. One of the most recent articles written is from the New York Times Magazine: How Disgust Explains Everything.

Mike Pompeo Is a Theocrat,

I deeply resent Evangelical Christians like Mike Pompeo who can’t find anything good to say about the current state of America. Yes, we are struggling terribly with all of our culture wars issues. Antisemitism is on the rise and gun violence is totally out of control in America.

Pompeo would add that gay marriage is an abomination and abortion a criminal act. And it seems reasonable that he believes the 1619 Project is also ‘filth’.

In the world of “how low can they go”, Pompeo calling Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers and a member of the AFL–CIO, “the most dangerous person in the world” prompted me to consider that there is no bottom to what the MAGA crowd will say and do.

Read on in AOC Politics where I express my full disgust with Mike Pompaeo’s obsession with ‘filth’.
