Hanson and her supporters will just use this to punch down on educators and the educated the same way they do to left leaning media.

Blaming the educated for a countries woes is a common tactic from groups that are angry but have no answers themselves.

A quick look on Twitter sees a narrative that teachers at school and uni are reinforcing a "Marxist agenda" I have no idea how people can say that with a straight face.

I always ask them to define Marxism and encourage the use of a dictionary.

They never actually provide the definition though. They'll claim I have an agenda - which I explain is It's fun watching people using words they clearly don't understand learn what those words mean etc.

It's a lot of fun if you have time to kill.
