How does Public Art Education Co-Exist with Autocratic Political Cult/Conspiracy Theories, a Wide-spread Voter Suppression effort, and Banning Fact-Based History Lessons in schools?

In addition to characterizing the Violent January 6 insurrection as “Legitimate Political Discourse”, The GOP is weaponizing "Cancel Culture" in Schools, engages an all out effort in voter suppression; and financing the Canadian trucker's blockade of goods to America in an effort to damage our economy for their own political advantage.

MSNBC's Lawrence O’Donnell Show: guest speaker Steve Schmidt, former Republican Strategist, February 8, 2022.

The Republican National Committee has declared the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the United States Capitol to be a “Legitimate Political Discourse”; and censored Liz Cheney (R) Wy and Adam Kinzinger (R) ILL. for their involvement on the January 6 Select Committee. 

Steve Schmidt’s comments on the statement by the RNC “Legitimate Political Discourse” used for the Jan 6 insurrection on our U.S. Capitol to violently overturn the rightful 2020 Presidential Election are alarming. He calls out Republicans as an “Autocratic Vessel” in the United States. He says “Violence is not ‘Legitimate Political Discourse’.”

“Sweden has eighteen political parties, if one is “Autocratic” the effect is minimal. In America with only two political parties, if one is “Autocratic” it is a ‘huge deal’ for the survival of our Republic.”

“The Republican Party, today, includes Fascists, Proud Boy Extremists, Neo-Nazis, and people filled with racial animus; all part of a coalition. Those individual parts cannot and do not fit together; but it’s a convenience coalition, because they seek to get back into political power.

We cannot let this happen under any circumstance until the “Autocratic”movement inside that party, which dominates it completely is “dead and buried”. And we are a long, long way from that.”

On January 6, 2021, “there was a conspiracy party headed by the President of the United States to obstruct, destroy, obliterate the peaceful transition of power in our Country. We know that this Autocratic movement is a “Cult Personality”, fueled by grievance and “Conspiracy Theories”.

It’s all part of this “toxic stew”. This movement possesses all the markers

that any expert in the field would require to say “this is an Autocratic Movement. And it’s metastasized north of our border with an insurrection underway in the Capitol of Canada.”

“This attempt to overturn our election is a defining moment, not only for the RNC, but for [our] entire Country. The violence where 140 police officers were assaulted and killed, where insurrectionists defecated in the U.S. Capitol, urinated on the walls, bludgeoned people with the American Flag, attacked peoples with Bear Spray. And the RNC calls this “Legitimate Political Discourse”? We could lose our Country over this!  This is an enormous deal! No political leader in America of either party has ever made such a [false] declaration!”

“You have this “Institution”, the 3rd oldest party in the world sanctioning

“Fascistic Violence”. The 2020 election was about Donald Trump’s unfitness for office. The next elections will be about the American people. We have to decide if we are going to throw our “American Experiment” into the “dust bin” of history. Despite all the flaws of our Country, all of it’s hypocrisies…Our Nation made up of all the peoples of the world, where every language is spoken…We have fed more people…We have cured more people than all the other peoples of the world put together since the beginning of time.” 

“This is an exceptional Country. It’s greatest dissidents didn’t seek to tare it down. Martin Luther King sought to be included in it’s promise. He marched to the Lincoln Memorial to collect a promissory note. We’re going to wash that down the sewer? For Donald Trump? We’re going to usher in an age for our children of “political violence” in our Country?”

“It’s appalling! It’s despicable! The line has been drawn! The issue is clear! There is no backing off from this! It has to be confronted; and the American people have to decide; and that choice will determine whether we have “Peace and prosperity” for this decade, and the next decade, and decades after for our Country.”

    

Youth and the Social Impacts of Coronavirus

“On the plus side, platforms like “Squad” help youth connect in a positive way, and resourceful teens are using Instagram to “fake cast” each other in Broadways shows.”

“We’re Under Attack From the President.” By Admiral William H. McRaven (ret.)(commander U.S. Navy Special Operation Command

“For everyone who ever served in uniform, in the intelligence community, for diplomats who voice the nation’s principles, first responders, tellers of truth and the millions of American citizens who were raised believing in American values — of all political persuasions, have seen the assaults on our institutions: on the intelligence and law enforcement community, the State Department and the press. They have seen our leaders stand beside despots and strongmen, preferring their government narrative to our own. They have seen us abandon our allies and have heard the shouts of betrayal from the battlefield.”
“We are the most powerful nation in the world because we try to be the good guys...because our ideals of universal freedom and equality have been backed up by our belief that we were champions of justice, the protectors of the less fortunate.” Admiral William H. McRaven (ret.)(commander U.S. Navy Special Operation Command). NYTs, Opinion Section, October, 18, 2019. “We’re Under Attack From the President.”

“A Widening of the Lens” by Antwaun Sargent

“Her gaze is confident, a symbol of black motherhood, beauty and pride.”
“To convey black beauty is an act of justice,” says Tyler Mitchell.
“Tyler Mitchell is a part of a burgeoning new vanguard of young black photographers, including Daniel Obasi, Adrienne Raquel, Micaiah Carter, Nadine Ijewere, Renell Medrano and Dana Scruggs, working to widen the representation of black lives around the world [and] expand the view of blackness in all its diversity...
...they are challenging a culture that still relies on insidious stereotypes in its depictions of black life”...”exclusion of black works from mainstream fashion and galleries, artists are curating their own exhibitions, conceptualizing their own internet sites, and using their social media platforms, [receiving] comments on how their photographs powerfully mirror their own lives.”— black art as universal.” Antwaun Sargent

Lee Kasner: “A Solo Limelight” by Jason Farago

“Lee Krasner was suspicious of paintings where telltale marks were like alternative autographs.” “She was proud not to have a single style. You had to figure out each painting on its own, she said, or you end up with something “rigid rather than being alive.”
