Obama’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan: Anti-Mask, Anti-Vax People ‘Strikingly Similar’ to Kabul Suicide Bombers

Sunday on Twitter, former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education Arne Duncan posted a sick, hateful tweet which equated COVID vaccine skeptics and anti-mask-mandate lovers of freedom to the Islamic terrorists who slaughtered more than 100 people in a suicide bombing last Thursday, including 13 U.S. servicemembers.

“Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions are between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here?” Duncan wrote. “They both blow themselves up, inflict harm on those around them, and are convinced they are fighting for freedom.”

Duncan’s ugly comparison rightly drew outrage on social media. “It takes a radically out of touch and vile person to compare American Parents who don’t want our kids in masks to Muslim Terrorists who blow up our kids,” tweeted former Treasurer of Ohio Josh Mandel.

“Knowing this guy ran Dept of Ed for eight years under Obama explains all the insanity in our public schools happening right now, doesn’t it?” radio host Larry O’Connor chimed in.

Duncan’s vicious message only makes sense when you realize that, as a radical leftist, he perceives freedom-loving American patriots to be his real enemy.

Noting that black students were significantly more likely to be suspended or expelled from school for disciplinary reasons than their white peers, DOE’s Office for Civil Rights announced in 2014 that such “a disparate impact” could indicate “unlawful discrimination … [even] if a policy is neutral on its face” and “is administered in an evenhanded manner.”^[2]  With Duncan asserting that racial discrimination in discipline was “a real problem today,” the DOE pressured schools to adopt veritable racial quotas for suspensions and expulsions.

Scholar Mary Grabar writes that under Duncan’s watch, the DOE became “a propaganda arm used to influence the next generation to accept the idea of catastrophic man-made climate change.” Toward that end, she explains, students were often required to watch Al Gore’s propagandistic documentary, An Inconvenient Truth; were instructed to make videos “express[ing] why they care about climate change and what they are doing to reduce emissions or to prepare for its impacts”; and were enrolled in a National Wildlife Federation program wherein they could “propose solutions” to global warming.
