  • Semi-related: The right-wing economist Roger Freeman, advisor to both Reagan and Nixon was vehemently and openly against education for everyone, declaring that an ‘educated proletariat’ was like ‘dynamite’ and would somehow lead to student riots and the devaluation of higher education, openly pushing for education for elites only.

    He was also a major influence on federal student loan program - some credit him as the architect of American student debt.

    I do wonder if his attempts to push right wingers against higher education has harmed US education as a whole.
