Unacademy Teacher Fired for telling students to 'Vote for Educated Leaders' Remark during lecture.
The video and its subsequent response sparked a significant reaction on social media, with numerous users rallying behind Sangwan's statement. However, some others disagreed, asserting that personal opinions should not be shared within classrooms.

Very telling (and not without reason) that just reading the headline creates an automatic assumption that this occurred in a US "red" state.
I definitely read the headline and thought "please don't be my state again"
Luckily this one is in India
Can you explain why?
(I am not from US)
The US republican/trump/conservative (known collectively as Nazi's) followers are historically against education. These people are currently promoting a religious inquisition to eliminate books and curriculum in schools that they feel do not align with their hate based religious and intolerant beliefs. Teachers and librarians are being physically threatened and fired for refusing to comply with the book bans and twisted educational mandates. The politicians that populate the groups I mentioned are not considered smart themselves (like stating wind generators were a threat because they would use up all the wind eventually) so advising children to vote for educated politicians threatens their one and only goal, the retention and accumulation of more power.
Oh damn. Indian politicians are also very uneducated but they don't usually go against education
Funny thing: in early years of Russian Federation "red state" meant southern pro-communism pro-education/healthcare/pension/science funding state.
Around 40% of Indian politicians are only educated up to school (stat might have changed), and the ruling party is quite dystopian in silencing narratives that go against it.
Sorry, but what does "up to school" mean? (I am American, and many of our education groups are schools.) Is that school prior to college, ending near age 18, or something else?
Edit: thank you, I now understand
Upto age of 16 or might include upto 18
till 10th grade (GED equivlent i guess.)
I would guess that most republicans politicians are actually pretty highly educated. Trump even went to ivy league schools. They value it, just not for their voters.
Not really. They use Ivy League schools more for making connections with other wealthy people and getting jobs through those connections than actually learning anything.
Yes I get that about india, but i'm asking why the other perso thought it was US first. Is there any similiar event or so?
Majority of users on lemmy are probably americans by now and they assume everything is about their country.
