Authoritarians value indoctrination, not education.

I paid very little attention to the ad and I just tried googling it. I was wrong, it was Patriots Against Learning. The only mention I find of it is the ad with Cawthorn and Shirley. The ad is for an actual event and does not appear to be satire. Maybe it is something new that these reich-wing influencers are floating.
